Speaker 4: Good morning, my good brother.

15
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 3: Man, you said it, and we are in the dog

16
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 3: days right like dog days this week's hot dog eating contest.

17
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 3: I should say I was the sideline reporter of the

18
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 3: hot dog eating contest for three years, so I have

19
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 3: lived that thing up close and personal. No disrespect to it.

20
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: But when we are this obsessed over whether or not

21
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: Joey chestnuts eating wieners, and we know that, like man,

22
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 3: we are in straight up we need football mode, like

23
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 3: that's just what happened right now, That's where we are

24
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 3: like we even tried to make the NBA Draft a

25
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: big deal this week, and like I want the NBA

26
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 3: Draft to be a big deal, but it's a failed product.

27
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: There's no way you can get into it the way

28
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 3: you get into the NFL draft. And the whole time

29
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: I was watching, I was thinking, this is what happens

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 3: when you are desperate for a pig skin to go

31
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 3: flying in the air.

32
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: That's where we are right now.

33
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: We got it less of a month. Can't sit and

34
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 3: that's that's where we are.

35
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: You're so right, you know, you know it's hysterical is

36
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: that I've realized that I'm watching way too much soccer.

37
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: And the reason why I'm watching way too In fact,

38
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 2: I was watching Brazil.

39
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 5: Last night, right, and I'm watching Vinnie Junior go nuts,

40
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 5: and I make a mentioned of it were my text

41
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 5: I've been text chain with my buddies, right, and they go.

42
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: Soccer like that big question mark. And you know why

43
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: I like it? Besides it's a pretty game. You know

44
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: it sound's true and all or whatever, but it reminds

45
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: you it has the bigness of football. That that's really it, right,

46
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 2: Like it's got the bigness of football where you know,

47
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: it's got like pageantry, and maybe that little thing is

48
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: just kind of getting me through because you're right to

49
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: the NBA, trash stop.

50
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 4: It's not the NFL, man, I know you want to

51
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 4: be the NFL.

52
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: And there's Adam said, there's Adam Silver hugging everybody like

53
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: he's like Adell Light, and it's just nobody knows the

54
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: players right, like you don't handful of the players.

55
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 4: Like truthfully, the best player I saw.

56
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: All all season last season went to the Lakers at seventeen.

57
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 4: Dalton connect Yeah, think about it.

58
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 3: But here's the thing. It's not the NBA's fault. I

59
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 3: want to be clear here, like I'm not coming in

60
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: bashing the NBA. There is a pipeline of college football.

61
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 3: The second most popular sport in the world is college football.

62
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 3: So college football. I shouldn't say the world in the

63
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: US before everybody tweets me about the second most popular

64
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: sport in this country is college football. So your pipeline

65
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: is a bunch of guys that you've either heard of

66
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: their name or you've probably seen a highlight. Even if

67
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 3: you don't like college football. When you start getting ready

68
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 3: for the draft, you can go out and you're watching

69
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: a bunch of you know, YouTube stuff and listening to experts,

70
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 3: and like, you can at least get something out of

71
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: it that makes sense, you can put it all together.

72
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: What are you doing with a bunch of guys that, like, frankly,

73
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 3: a week ago nobody had ever heard of I was

74
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 3: sitting in a hotel in Jacksonville with a bunch of

75
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 3: people as we were doing a high school football event.

76
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 3: I was sitting with a bunch of people watching it,

77
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 3: and one of the guys looked at me and he's like,

78
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 3: who's this guy? Hell have I know? Like I do

79
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 3: this for a living, and I have no idea, Like,

80
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: how are we supposed to keep up with the bunch

81
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 3: of guys that we know nothing about? The entire process

82
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: coming into it, and then the fact that yet again

83
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 3: you've got to break down of a player why he's

84
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 3: gonna work great with Wemby and in the middle of

85
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 3: that woljbomb, he's not ever gonna play for that team.

86
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 3: Like the entire process. You can't even celebrate when your

87
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: favorite team drafts somebody. He's probably not gonna play for you.

88
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 3: So it just becomes this weird thing that took two

89
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 3: days for no good reason. That sort of everybody just

90
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 3: sat there and said, Yep, Brownie's gonna go to the Lakers,

91
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: and that'll be our drama. Like, that's so different than

92
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 3: what we experienced when people are arguing tooth and nail

93
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 3: over the eighteenth pick of the first round of the

94
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: NFL draft. It's just a much different experien It can't

95
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: be reputable. The NHL too tried this week doing it

96
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 3: at this sphere. Nobody cares.

97
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 2: I will tell you it looked cool, like like it

98
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 2: looked big.

99
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 4: But to your point, yeah, nobody cares. It's again, you can't.

100
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: You can't make that a big deal because there's no recognition.

101
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: The other problem that the NBA has is it's to

102
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 2: make up of the team, right, you don't there's just

103
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: a finite amount of spots. You're also talking about a

104
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 2: draft that was probably the worst draft since the Anthony

105
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: Bennett Draft. Right, Like, there is football you need. It's like,

106
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 2: you know twenty two positions, not counting special teams.

107
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 4: You need the college in flux.

108
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: So you may not know an offensive tackle for Auburn

109
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: or a linebacker from Texas Tech, but you're able to

110
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: kind of deep dive into it a lot easier. It's

111
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,239
Speaker 2: just and they're gonna probably make an impact. Right, there's

112
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,679
Speaker 2: more of a chance just because of the math, there's

113
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: more of a chance that those drafts they just matter more.

114
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: It's like anything else. It's why football is king because

115
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: it just matters more. Right, every game matters more, every

116
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 2: moment matters more.

117
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 4: It hads that feel to.

118
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, the impact part of it is huge too, because

119
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: to your point, when you think about every other sport

120
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: other than the NFL, I mean, in the NHL, if

121
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: you're lucky, a top overall pick in the draft is

122
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 3: gonna get in the league in one or two years

123
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: and maybe start making a difference in two or three years.

124
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 3: And that's if you've got Connor McDavid right. For most

125
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 3: teams picking in the first round, it's well, they're gonna

126
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 3: go and Milwaukee for several years and then eventually they'll

127
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 3: get to Nashville and let's see if they have any

128
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 3: sort of skin in the game when they get there.

129
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: So you know, it can be years before somebody's playing

130
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 3: third line and you don't even know if it's worth it, right,

131
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 3: like major League Baseball, much the same we getting drafted

132
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: Sech believe they're even gonna go. We don't know, you know,

133
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 3: and you think about the NBA and how it's like, well,

134
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 3: they're gonna go to the G League and we'll just

135
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 3: see how it works out. The real argument that I

136
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 3: think is a smart one that supports drafting BROWNI is

137
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: it's the fifty fifth pick in the draft. Who cares

138
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 3: that guy never makes a difference. Well, that's a problem

139
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: for your draft because the fifty fifth guy is still

140
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 3: a second rounder in the NFL. And you want to

141
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: tell me that a fan base is like, ah, what

142
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: the hell, go take a shot on that guy's kid.

143
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 3: It's the second round doesn't make a difference. It's just

144
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 3: the immediacy and the urgency are different because the opportunity

145
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 3: for somebody to get on the field is just so

146
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: much tougher in every other sport. And that makes getting

147
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 3: into the whole draft broadcast just kind of blase.

148
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 4: Well a fitz he could you make that a two

149
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 4: day event?

150
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just silly that I do blame the

151
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: NBA for it's not a two day event.

152
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 4: All right, How in.

153
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: The world could you possibly talk about the second round

154
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: like it like it matters a little bit. You want

155
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: you talk about rolling dice, picking lottery tickets, that's all

156
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: the second round is.

157
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 4: I mean, give me a break that you put that

158
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 4: two days. That's silly.

159
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's just let me try to make

160
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 2: it like that is greed. I'm sorry, it's like that's

161
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: pushing it. It's a colossal mistake. It's a failure.

162
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this, do you think next year

163
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 3: when there isn't the drama of Bronni, Like, there's just

164
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 3: part of me that feels like they took it to

165
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: two days because they knew Bronnie wasn't gonna be a

166
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: first round pick, but they figured he'd probably go in

167
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: the second round somewhere. So let's get him in. Let's

168
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 3: get that moment televised so that everybody can talk Lebron

169
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 3: and his kid playing on the same team. I wonder

170
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: next year if they run that back. It just it

171
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: does feel to your point. You know, even diehards can't

172
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 3: tell me that you were flocking and stopping all of

173
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 3: your plans to watch Day two of the NBA Draft.

174
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 3: I just can't believe there were that many people that

175
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 3: did it.

176
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 4: No, I mean it was a rip off.

177
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: I think you're You're completely right that they probably don't

178
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 2: run it back. They probably sit there and go, now, yeah,

179
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: I want to that was a mistake. We'll just to

180
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 2: capitalize it. And it probably wasn't one and done for

181
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: lebron for Bronnie. I gotta believe that there's no merit

182
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 2: to it. I don't know anybody that watched it, do you.

183
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: No second day, not anybody like That's the the interesting

184
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 3: part of all of it is that I think consumers

185
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 3: have become smart enough to look at it and be like,

186
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 3: all right, fine, that's the way you wanted to do it.

187
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 3: You know, we're not stupid, And you know, Adam Silver

188
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 3: should know that. Part of this is just a reminder too.

189
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: And I'll say this now because the whole start of

190
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 3: this conversation with us laughing about the fact that we're

191
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 3: a month over football. I will away from football. I

192
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 3: will remind every single person right now that is going

193
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 3: to in August have something negative to say about preseason football.

194
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 3: I will remind you, all of all of you that

195
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: the preseason games in August will get better ratings than

196
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: the NBA drafted. The preseason games in August will get

197
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 3: better ratings than playoff games getting other sports, the preseason

198
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: games that everybody says or trash and nobody cares about

199
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 3: and they're worthless and the pointless to watch those preseason

200
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 3: games are going to do better than meaningful sporting events

201
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 3: in most other sports because we love football that much.

202
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you brought it up, you know, or I

203
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: broughtup soccer and the you know you got us say

206
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 2: and we're you know when when football comes all this

207
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,760

209
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 2: things that occur to fill the calendar. It all just

210
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 2: is it just feels like filler, right, It just feels

211
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: like until you get in a real deal. It's it's

212
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: unbelievable how that is. And listen again, I'm a sports fans,

Speaker 2: I told you I watched a soccer. I'll put on

215
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: the draft, you know, I'll put it all on. But reality,

216
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: I'm like, all, I all, I can't wait for is

217
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 2: Man when training cap comes around. The best time of

218
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: the year is like close. And that's the truth.

219
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 3: I feel like, cousin, you were just you're hanging back

220
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 3: and you are you know, you're opening a dating app

00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 3: this is going to actually be my relationship. But it's

223
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 3: Friday night. I got nothing else to do. Sure, I'll

224
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 3: right right on this one. That's like all right, you know, yeah,

225
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 3: I'll go grab a slice with this person.

226
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 4: Fire that.

227
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 3: Like, that's where it feels like the entire month of

228
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 3: July is. It's just based on this. Well, it's better

229
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 3: than nothing, sort of prison. I will add, like I'm

230
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 3: gonna throw cricket in here, but I'm gonna do it

231
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 3: only so I can ask you about a violation. I'm

232
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 3: flying back from Jacksonville. Right like I'm flying, I'm sitting

233
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 3: in my window seat. I'm a window seat guy. I'm

234
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 3: a little guy. I like to be able to sort

235
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 3: of adjust my body straight over to the windows so

236
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: that I'm making as little contact with anybody as possible.

237
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 3: I sort of bubble myself in there. I got a

238
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: guy that's sitting in the middle seat. He's watching cricket

239
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 3: on his phone, but it's not that he's watching cricket.

240
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 3: He's littler than I am, and i'm, you know, five

241
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 3: nine and a half hundred and sixty five pounds, I'm

242
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 3: a little guy. So like, he's littler than I am,

243
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 3: and he's scrunning and he's watching cricket on his phone.

244
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 3: He's got his wife in the aisle. But as he's watching,

245
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 3: he's doing the arm spread, all right, So now he's

246
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 3: taking both armrests. He's taking the one that's on his

247
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: wife's side, but also the only arm rest I have

248
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 3: available to me, which we all know is supposed to

249
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 3: be sort of split between the guy and the isle

250
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 3: and the guy in the middle, like let's have a

251
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 3: little respect. But he's spreading out so far that his

252
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 3: arm keeps rubbing against my arm, and I keep moving

253
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 3: my way further and further over while I'm watching cricket,

254
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 3: because I have no choice, because he's you know, he's

255
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 3: basically elbowing me the whole time. But it's not like

256
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 3: an elbow. It's like a less aggressive arm rubbing up

257
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 3: against my arm, which doesn't seem to bother him, but

258
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: it really bothers me, like when in a fight, am

259
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 3: I allowed to say, Man, do you not feel my arm?

260
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 3: Because I'm looking at him the whole time taking like

261
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 3: I'm over here like a sardine trying to just squish

262
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 3: my body in and I'm getting arm rubbs from the

263
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 3: guy next to me. I like, forearm to forearm is

264
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 3: not how I feel like I should be interacting with anybody.

265
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,359
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter who they are in the middle seat.

266
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 4: No, I'll tell you a stone violation.

267
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: And you as someone who not you, but the cricket

268
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 2: man as the guy who you got to react to

269
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: what you feel like you can't touch.

270
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 4: A stranger like that, like the touch is just no good.

271
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: I'm with you, Like you know, flying nowadays is the worst,

272
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 2: Like the government really may I'm the last person to

273
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: answer the government to interview on anything. But these airlines

274
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: are so out of control with space it's ridiculous. Like

275
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: they charge you prefer square inch right, Like, oh, we

276
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: get you an exit row, we'll get an extra sixty

277
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: eight dollars, Like that's not right. Like they just banged

278
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 2: the NFL in the anti trust for the NFL ticket right,

279
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: Like they gotta go after these airlines for space, Like

280
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: there should be a fine night amount of seats for

281
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 2: an aircraft, and that's that. Stop squishing in seats, all right,

282
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: stop making it more.

283
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous.

284
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: They got to come in and pass the federal law

285
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: that there's that there's a finite amount of seats, a

286
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 2: respectable amount of room in between people, so.

287
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 4: There's no rub going on. That guy is a violation.

288
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 3: That guy he had a seg a violation too, And

289
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 3: I know this is a violation I agree with. By

290
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 3: the way, the factor were all crammed in like sardines.

291
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 3: I usually, especially like on a shorter flight, if I

292
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 3: got a tinkle, I got the bladder of a child.

293
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 3: But I will hold it to the point that I

294
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 3: even massive pain because I like the window and I

295
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 3: don't want to inconvenience everything. But I decided midway through

296
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 3: this flight, look, this guy's being a jerk. I'm just

297
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 3: gonna make him get up, so I'll go walk to

298
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 3: the bathroom. Ex gives me a reprieve, so I'm like,

299
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 3: all right, I got a tinkle, which is what I say,

300
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: and is an adult like I gotta tinkle. And his

301
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 3: wife gets out of her aisle seat to give me

302
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 3: room to get out. He refuses so he just looks

303
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 3: at me. He's like, you can step around, So I

304
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 3: have to do the walk over step around now it's

305
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 3: too small. It was like directly like he could have

306
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: even a good sniff. He was getting straight into my butt,

307
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: like I don't know what we're doing anymore.

308
00:15:52,840 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 4: Like this off. Ah, that's a that's your right day,

309
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 4: Like that's so bad.

310
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 2: Come on, he's got the rule nowadays, especially since there's

311
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: there's just no room. You gotta get up, all right,

312
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: you gotta get up and let the person through. We

313
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: all have experience that we all got to go to

314
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 2: the bathroom. You gotta do the neighborly thing, and you

315
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: gotta get up. That's ridiculous.

316
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 3: Just if more of us were nice when we flew,

317
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: flying would be a much nicer experience.

318
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, you know what it is too, Like I'm

319
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 4: with you.

320
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 2: There's a natural scheme of people, right, like you agree

321
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: with this right, Like you're talking about the touch, like

322
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: if you got if this guy's got one arm rest,

323
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: it's his wife's be grateful you got your You got

324
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 2: your arm rest. There's no reason why he's got to

325
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: conquer your arm rest too, Like its manifest destiny.

326
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 3: And you're right about to the fact that, like it's

327
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 3: just gotten so bad because I've been lucky enough to

328
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: fly over the world, all over the world for years,

329
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 3: I've fun more than most people. It feels like the

330
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: average flyer now is less considerate than ever before. And

331
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know when that happened. Like there

332
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 3: used to be a I'm not even talking about. Okay,

333
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 3: people used to get dressed and it look nicer when

334
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 3: they fly. I'm not even doing that, old man, get

335
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 3: off my lunch. I'm just saying, like, as a human being,

336
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 3: the way we get on planes, the way we act

337
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 3: on planes, the way we get off planes, the way

338
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 3: we are.

339
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 4: The unport, it's not civil.

340
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's like when did we all become a

341
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 3: bunch of savages trying to get on and off many

342
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 3: air Well.

343
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 2: The part of it, too, is that there's an entitlement

344
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: that we have about flying, Like flying used to be

345
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 2: a big deal. Like I like you, in another life,

346
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 2: I was a sports writer and travel all around the world,

347
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 2: and I used to spend three hundred and fifteen nights

348
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 2: on the year on the road a year, And that's

349
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 2: what I did for about a decade and they're a

350
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 2: little less than and and I loved it. It was

351
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: pre nine to eleven for most part, and you know,

352
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: you were able to just kind of go and and

353
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: But as more and more people travel, the headache comes.

354
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 2: They all of a sudden, there's no civility. It's like

355
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: you get up in the air and civility goes out

356
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 2: the window. Although I do, I do think civility is

357
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: gone and all. I think social media tarnishes civility.

358
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 3: I agree with that. Actually I post COVID especially there's

359
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 3: just no nobody's nice, there's.

360
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 2: No respect, no not to be like like you said,

361
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 2: they get off by the long guy. But you're got

362
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 2: to show up some decency toward your fellow human being.

363
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 2: Like right away, everybody's got to criticize, everybody's got to

364
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: rip you, everybody's gonna come in. And it's because of

365
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 2: the que and social media. It's like people feel emboldened

366
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: right like to say things or to act a certain way.

367
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 2: Whereas back in the day your ass got knocked out

368
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 2: if you acted like that. I think they's to go

369
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 2: back to letting you knock somebody out. We got lots

370
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 2: to get to We got to talk about this NFL

371
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: NFL ticket thing because you made mention to it and

372
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 2: to the group. It's fascinating man. On what the future

Speaker 4: Fitz Amanthy Gargano so fits you.

398
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 2: I'm real curious about your trip to Jacksonville where you

399
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 2: were at a big high school football event for the

400
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 2: top recruits of the country. Tell me all about this.

401
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 2: I love this stuff. I'll be honest with you, I'm

402
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 2: real interested in it.

403
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 3: Well, you know, for anyone that doesn't know my other

404
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 3: job obviously, as I work for Yahoo Sports and I

405
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 3: cover college and NFL mostly for Yahoo, and Yahoo is

406
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 3: part of Yahoo's Rivals. So Rivals is one of the

407
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 3: scouting services that goes out and ranks the high school

408
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 3: football players across the country. So over the weekend they

409
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 3: did a camp that they haven't done in about five

410
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 3: years called the Rivals five Star and then basically it's

411
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 3: one hundred players from across the country that are four

412
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 3: and five star players. They could be juniors, they could

413
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 3: be seniors. Mostly seniors came out and they Day one.

414
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: They do some cool like you know, media type stuff

415
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 3: they do you know, pictures, and they hang out and

416
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 3: they kind of do that thing. Day two is all

417
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 3: about skills competition and then a seven on seven games.

418
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: So it was actually pretty amazing to get to watch.

419
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 3: You know, for example, Brandon Jacobs was coaching all of

420
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 3: the high school running backs, so they're running through all

421
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 3: these running backs as you know, they were doing the

422
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 3: same across the field. So the nice part of my

423
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 3: job is that it gave me up up close, you know,

424
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 3: personal sort of access to everything that they were doing

425
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 3: and seeing some of you know, what we can look for.

426
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 3: And I'll be honest, like especially because we obsess over quarterbacks,

427
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 3: but man like Tavian Saint Clair is a quarterback commit

428
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 3: that is he's going to Ohio State. And it was

429
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 3: incredible because we did an accuracy competition, so I watched

430
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 3: all that. You could see some of these high school

431
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 3: kids still struggle to throw across their body, but then

432
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 3: they just literally turned around and did like a long

433
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 3: ball throw and my guy, with no run up, no work,

434
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 3: no effort through the ball seventy yards in the air.

435
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 3: It landed seventy yards downfield. And he's a high school kid,

436
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 3: like one of the one of the defensive linemen that

437
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 3: was played is currently the size of Chris Jones of

438
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 3: the Kansas City Chief Superstar currently. So it's cool because

439
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 3: you know, we talk all the time about kids getting

440
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 3: drafted and how you have to figure out different levels

441
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 3: of competition and how it translates. This was really helpful

442
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 3: for a lot of the kids because you're competing at

443
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 3: these camps against other best of the best players in

444
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 3: these situations. So you might be great in the city

445
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 3: you're in, are you great against the best from other cities?

446
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 3: And it's a real opportunity to show that. So it

447
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 3: was cool. Like kid that won fastest run ran a

448
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 3: four three six forty. It's what kids are doing right

449
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 3: now in high school is unbelievable to me.

450
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, I got a son who my oldest is

451
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: about to go in the play high school football. Like

452
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 2: he just started workouts all season workouts with his high school.

453
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 4: It will be an incoming.

454
00:23:53,840 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: Freshmen, and it's just it's a fascinating world, man, you

455
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 2: know what it is. These kids are so much more

456
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: talented today than they've ever been, certainly more than when

457
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 2: I when I played, Like you know, I mean it's

458
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 2: not even close.

459
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 4: Uh.

460
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 2: These kids are just skilled, they're stronger, they've been working

461
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 2: out they've been you know, like like it's so funny.

462
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 2: I think back to it. You know when I was

463
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 2: in eighth grade going to high school and you know,

464
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 2: you start lifting weights right you're and all you're really

465
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 2: doing is you're you know, benching and curls right like

466
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 2: you just going glad muscles. You didn't you didn't work

467
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 2: out properly like nowadays, Like you see what these kids

468
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 2: are doing. It's strength training and jolty training like my

469
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 2: kid goes. It's strength and agility training. Like it's unbelievable

470
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 2: what we're kind of athletes that were producing.

471
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 4: And I say with my little one, my eleven year old.

472
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: Baseball, like Fitzy, these kids are so skilled. Like I

473
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,959
Speaker 2: watched an eleven U baseball game, travel baseball game, and

474
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 2: I'm watching a good get like decent game make they

475
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: make all the plays.

476
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 4: You know, they're not the ball around the field.

477
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: You know you'll see some decent pitching, You'll see good

478
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 2: hitting Situationally, they know what they're doing. It's amazing. The

479
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 2: training and the practicing. I hate the you know, dive

480
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 2: into one sport. You got to pick your one sport

481
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 2: at nine years old. I think it's a disservice. The

482
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 2: one thing I will say is that when these kids

483
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 2: do focus on the sport they're they're really, really good.

484
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 2: You know, across the board. They're way better than I

485
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 2: think athletes have ever been.

486
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 3: It's interesting to your point. By the way, the kid

487
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 3: that put up the most bench press to twenty five,

488
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 3: just like the Sky and Combine put it up twenty

489
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 3: seven times, and he's a junior in high school. So

490
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: the training that they're doing is incredible. To your point

491
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 3: point about focusing on one sport. One thing that I

492
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 3: really walked away from out of this was the realization

493
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 3: and it is something in the music business we've talked

494
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 3: about for years, but like a lot of people set

495
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 3: out to be great at this thing that they love

496
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 3: and then they wake up one day and realize that

497
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 3: they become a CEO and that's real. You might be

498
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 3: the best singer in the world, and all of a sudden,

499
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 3: you get a record deal and you start touring. You

500
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 3: just want to sing songs, Well, you don't do that anymore.

501
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 2: Now.

502
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 3: You employ one hundred and fifty people that all make

503
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 3: their livelihood based on your decisions every single year and

504
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 3: touring and it's a really strange thing, especially as kids

505
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 3: become more and more successful. Social media influencers become more

506
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 3: and more successful as kids kids now are CEOs, the

507
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 3: really great ones are having to do this right away.

508
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 3: The number of these kids that you know, frankly are

509
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 3: already worth over a million dollars that are high school players.

510
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 3: The number of these kids that are getting paid to

511
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 3: take visits to different schools, The number of these kids

512
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 3: that have deals in place with schools that when you

513
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 3: start hearing people talk behind the scenes about what NIL

514
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 3: looks like and some of the deals that are being

515
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 3: instruct for some of these kids, you understand why. Like,

516
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 3: if I was a parent, I'd have a hard time

517
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 3: wanting my tenth grader that really wants to play four

518
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 3: sports do it. If I know that, man, well, we're

519
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 3: already getting offers that are for a million plus dollars

520
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 3: for you to go play college football, Like what are

521
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 3: you doing?

522
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 2: You know?

523
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 3: And so I agree with you. I think it's a

524
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 3: disservice to the kid. The hardest part is that I'm

525
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 3: not sure they're kids anymore. Like when you get to

526
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 3: this point where you're a five part.

527
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 4: Making choose it at nine, ten years old.

528
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair, and that's that's fair. I think it's

529
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 3: it's difficult because now it used to be you played,

530
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 3: you know, high school football because you love it. You

531
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 3: played college football because it got you to the NFL,

532
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 3: and you played the NFL for money. That that's if

533
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 3: you were great at this, if you were lucky enough

534
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 3: to be the one percent, that's what you did. Now

535
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 3: it genuinely feels like by the time you get to

536
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: junior senior year, if you don't have a monetizing plan

537
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 3: in front of you, like, then you're behind everybody else.

538
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 3: If you don't have offers that are changing your entire

539
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 3: families lives, then you're behind everybody else. And that's that's

540
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 3: daunting to think of, what, especially for these quarterbacks, like

541
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 3: the amount of pressure that's on these kids to play quarterback,

542
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 3: that play quarterback, to make these decisions. It's already hard

543
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 3: to figure out where you want to play college football. Now,

544
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 3: imagine how many people are in your ear if they

545
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 3: know that you've got an offer from somewhere that's going

546
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 3: to pay you, you know, a guarantee of half a

547
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 3: million dollars a year, plus first class fights for your

548
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 3: entire family, plus a suite at every game and you're

549
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 3: trying to weigh that option versus this one over here

550
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 3: that might only be four hunder k, but you know

551
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 3: they're giving you more. You like this coaching staff better,

552
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 3: Like are you allowed to do that now? Like that's

553
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 3: that's what really becomes wild to me when you look

554
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 3: at the decision making.

555
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 4: Dude, it's insane.

556
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 2: Like I had this whole discussion about reclassifying, like my boys, right,

557
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 2: because reclassifies everything. Now everybody does it, and it's a

558
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 2: way to cheat the system out of a year. But

559
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,719
Speaker 2: think about it, right, if you reclassify out of out

560
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 2: of eighth grade, so you through eighth grade and then

561
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 2: you repeat eighth grade somewhere else, Right, It's it's a

562
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 2: way to allow and it's such a huge advantage. But

563
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 2: it just helps you because there's a big difference between

564
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 2: a seventeen year old senior and a nineteen year old senior.

565
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 4: I mean, these angles are everywhere I see it.

566
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: I mean I'm in the middle of it, right, So

567
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 2: I seen these parents. Like in high school football, I

568
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 2: remember playing We had a game last year for our

569
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 2: youth league. It was you know, we basically eighth graders

570
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 2: and we're playing kids that we're sixteen years old, like

571
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 2: who had gone through puberty or the other all the

572
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 2: way on the other side of puberty.

573
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 4: Right, Like, I mean, they look like us.

574
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 2: There were men at you know, sixteen, like you're just around,

575
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: you were at this five star camp. You see these

576
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 2: kids in sixteen, So now imagine them gets eighth graders now.

577
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 3: Well, and even I was taking Mac Jones now with

578
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 3: the Jags. Former Patriots quarterback came by because rivals camps

579
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 3: were a big deal to him, so he was just

580
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 3: come by and talking to everybody and hanging out. And

581
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 3: he and I were standing on the sideline watching some

582
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 3: of the drills, and Mac, who was only drafted a

583
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 3: few years ago, even acknowledged in our conversation. He's like, man,

584
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 3: they weren't built like this when I was in high school.

585
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 3: And you think about how much bigger everybody's getting, and

586
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 3: I think that in part that's because of the training,

587
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 3: and part of it is because of things like the

588
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 3: classification that are happy, Like you start thinking about how

589
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 3: large these kids are. It's just such a different it's

590
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 3: a different world, and they're grasp on everything. I mean.

591
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 3: Keelan Russell is another quarterback. He's commit to Alabama and

592
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 3: his command and understanding of exactly like he first of all,

593
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 3: he looks like he's thirty, and then he just he

594
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 3: flings the ball like he's you know, played three years

595
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 3: of college football and is absolute understanding of the concepts.

596
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 3: Like watching the seven on seven where the coach staff,

597
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 3: you know, they've got plays drawn up and they're taking

598
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,479
Speaker 3: ten seconds to explain this play and he's got it

599
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 3: executing it. And then he had some plays in the

600
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 3: seven on seven that he just baited the defense in

601
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 3: ways that the best players in the country weren't ready

602
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 3: to handle. And you looked at it and he said, man,

603
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 3: this isn't a kid playing quarterback. This is a grown

604
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 3: ass man playing a kid's game. And like that's that's it.

605
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 3: It's real and it's and then, like I said, you

606
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 3: start hearing some of the offers and I don't want

607
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 3: to like throw anybody under the bus, but like the

608
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 3: numbers were rampant everywhere, and start thinking about, Okay, you're

609
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 3: a kid and you're trying to figure out where to go,

610
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 3: and you got schools offering signing bonuses that are upwards

611
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: of hundreds of thousands of dollars on top of an

612
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 3: annual nil on top of the new popular thing truly

613
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 3: is a travel allotment for your family so they can

614
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 3: fly first class to every game, and a travel allotment

615
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 3: for you so you can fly home first class whenever

616
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 3: you need to. Like, these are all real things that

617
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 3: are now being negotiated, and they're being negotiated for kids

618
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 3: and buy It's like, it's just I don't even know

619
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 3: how they have the space to figure out what to

620
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 3: do in normal life, given how much is on them

621
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 3: in the world of like, hey, these gams matter because

622
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 3: God forbid, you have a bad day. You have a

623
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 3: bad day, you might drop, and if you drop, your

624
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 3: costing your whole family money.

625
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 4: Like it's weird, man, Yeah, it is weird.

626
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 2: And you know it's like, I think we all agree

627
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 2: that it's way too much.

628
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 4: It's too much. Kids are too young to be experiencing this.

629
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 2: It is like he that's where the parent needs to

630
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 2: kind of step in and shield them from a little bit.

631
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 4: Now you see it.

632
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 3: And I want to quick on that. Like for years

633
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 3: I've said I want to be consistent. For years I've

634
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 3: said nobody worried about the fact that justin Timberlake didn't

635
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 3: finish high school. So I'm not sitting here saying that,

636
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 3: you know, all of these things can't be worked out. Like, look,

637
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 3: I was as a kid. I was earning money when

638
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 3: I was ten years old as a classical violinist. Like,

639
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 3: so I understand, Yeah, you're a proud is something that's

640
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 3: already existing, right, I understand that. But let's also remember

641
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 3: they had to go in For anyone that doesn't remember

642
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 3: in the eighties, they had to go in and they

643
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 3: had to change the laws around parents and what they

644
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 3: could do with their kids' money because there were so

645
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 3: many child actors that were finding out they were broke

646
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 3: when they turned eighteen because mom and dad spent it all.

647
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,959
Speaker 3: So like when we say the parents got to step in,

648
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 3: you got to hope that there's a parental structure. Like

649
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 3: I don't know what the right answer is, but there

650
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 3: needs to be some sort of system in place that

651
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 3: protects the kids.

652
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, now, listen, there is You're right, Yeah, not everybody,

653
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 2: you know, not all parents are are equipped themselves to

654
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 2: step in and handle this kind of business. You know,

655
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 2: buddy mine is a GM in big time college football,

656
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 2: and I mean he's already telling me it's so crazy.

657
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 2: And all these universities are hiring general managers now to

658
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 2: and they need general managers because they need to treat

659
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 2: their roster with salary caps and everything else. It's completely wild.

660
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 2: All right, we got to take quick time out. We'll

661
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 2: come back in just a moment. The fella is hanging

662
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 2: right here Fox Sports Radio fellas Jason Fits Anthony Gargana.

663
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 4: So I gotta ask you a question.

664
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 2: When you're down there, and let's look at the quarterbacks,

665
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 2: because you were talking about some of these high school quarterbacks.

666
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 2: It's amazing how polished they are, right like that was

667
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 2: that The biggest thing that stood out is, you know,

668
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 2: the seven on seventh skill thing is blowing up right

669
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: like they you know, it's flag football, it's the seven

670
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 2: on seven stuff. But what it does is it makes

671
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 2: the skill people, certainly just the quarterback and the receivers,

672
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 2: so much more elevated than they ever been. Right, Like,

673
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 2: these quarterbacks now their concepts, they study the position.

674
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 4: It's funny. I always thought Peyton started it right.

675
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 2: Peyton started real quarterbacks really study the studying the position

676
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 2: and seeing like where they were. Peyton was at oc

677
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 2: on the field, and that trend kind of started with

678
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 2: Kim and now, guys, you know you have to be

679
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,439
Speaker 2: you have to be prepared to run that to play

680
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 2: that position.

681
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think the the intellect, you know, the football

682
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 3: smarts of all the guys was certainly on display, especially

683
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 3: in the seven on seven and they were they were

684
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 3: being asked to execute a lot quickly running clock. For

685
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 3: anyone that's never seen this, it was seven on seven. Uh,

686
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 3: the corners couldn't get straight up and bumped, so they

687
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 3: had to have a two yard cushion between the corner

688
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 3: and the dB until they got to within I think

689
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 3: the ten yard line. So it gives a little bit

690
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 3: of a reaction, but the coaches are barking out quick plays,

691
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 3: quick processing and forcing everybody to do it. And you know,

692
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 3: so the three things that really stood out was the processing,

693
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 3: the size, and the footwork for a lot of these guys,

694
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 3: and you know that was pretty I mentioned Tavian Saint

695
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 3: Clair earlier, who again he's a high school kid committed

696
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 3: to Ohio State that right now today is a little

697
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 3: taller and a little bigger than Jayden. You know, so

698
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 3: we talk about Jaden Daniels, he's very comparable, Like if

699
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 3: you looked at his body, you would think that he's Jayden,

700
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 3: he's just a little bit bigger. But also Achille Smith Junior,

701
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 3: which makes me feel old. Wow, he's a man amongst

702
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 3: boys like Junior.

703
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 4: Oh that's wow. Wow, what a story.

704
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 3: He's huge now. It was interesting his brain is ahead

705
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 3: of what his body's ready to do, you know, Like

706
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 3: there were a couple of times that he found something

707
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 3: through something and you were it's just everybody sort of gasped,

708
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 3: was like, that's great. He's got to get a little

709
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 3: bit more accuracy. I think, like but and there were

710
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 3: a couple of times the coaches were parking at him,

711
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 3: you know, use your feet, and when he would use

712
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 3: his feet, all of a sudden everything was solved. So

713
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 3: it's a reminder that these kids still have a little

714
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 3: bit to work on, but they're being asked to process.

715
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 3: So like and Juju Lewis is a kid that's committed

716
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 3: to usc that he's tiny, like honestly cousin, Like, he's

717
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 3: smaller than I am. And then you watch him get

718
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 3: out there and play and you're like, my god. It's

719
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 3: just some of these guys athletically and their ability to

720
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 3: figure out who's doing what, where, when and how why.

721
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 3: It's it just speaks to the fact that you've got

722
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 3: kids that are spending more time than ever in and

723
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 3: around playbooks, in and around coaches, in and around you know,

724
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 3: people that help them learn the skill of the game better.

725
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 3: It just doesn't feel like high school football felt like

726
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 3: even ten years ago, where you have a bunch of

727
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 3: kids that are a little bit lost that are going

728
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 3: out there trying to do the thing. Now, it's just

729
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 3: if all these kids felt like they were part of

730
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 3: the system.

731
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great way to play the system. It's

732
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 2: a different it's like this new thing that it's like

733
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 2: kind of formed and yeah, yeah, I I totally you

734
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 2: feel you like the wow, it's amazing. You mentioned a

735
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 2: Killy Smith junior. I was gonna bring up Donovan Donovan

736
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 2: McNabb with Donovan was coming out of Syracuse like he

737
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 2: was a terrific athlete. He had a big arm, you know,

738
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 2: just the reason why Andy Reid picked him over Achille

739
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 2: Smith and a couple of other guys that was supposed

740
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 2: to be a great quarterback draft. But the thing with

741
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 2: with Donovan, I remember Andy telling me like he's not Peyton,

742
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 2: right or not? And he's not Brady. Those guys are

743
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 2: rare in that their role in their offense. They're like

744
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 2: OC's on the field and and he's like DOWNAV is

745
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 2: not that type.

746
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 4: Of quarterback, and nobody really is. So here you.

747
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 2: Have like the two thousands, like they like twenty to

748
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 2: twenty ten. Your only quarterbacks that are are that OC

749
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 2: on the field that understood every nuance of offense was

750
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 2: Peyton and Brady, And now they all have to right

751
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 2: like now ten year, let's go ten years later, from

752
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen to twenty twenty four every quarterback has to

753
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 2: have that same Brady or Manning brain, how they're wired

754
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 2: to understand the complexity of that position.

755
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 3: But that also is partially because of the way the

756
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 3: system works now, right like, you have less time than

757
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 3: ever to show that you can actually play. I used

758
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 3: to say that I wanted an adjustment period for freshmen

759
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 3: because you know, come on, think they went from worrying

760
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 3: about a promposal to suddenly play in front of eighty

761
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 3: thousand people. These group of seniors that I just I

762
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 3: saw up close, they're not what high school football players

763
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 3: were a few years ago. There is a higher expectation

764
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 3: that you're gonna come in, You're gonna conquer right away,

765
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 3: Like you don't have a couple of years to figure

766
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 3: out the position and the playbook and the coaching staff anymore.

767
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 3: So it just feels like all of this means you

768
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 3: must be smarter when you walk in the door.

769
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's a great point. I don't know, I

770
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,399

Speaker 2: did you see this we're talking about. We just got

786
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:30,959
Speaker 2: talking about this high school football and everything that I guess.

787
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 2: There's an under twenty World football kind of tournament and

788
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 2: we lost to Japan. USA. Now, how could we ever

789
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 2: lose in football? Like soccer? I get right now. Of course,

790
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 2: Monday tmusa lot on the line. I want to get

791
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 2: to you. I want to ask you about this, But

792
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 2: how do we lose? Did you pan in football? The

793
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 2: rest of the world's catching up in basketball, maybe even

794
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 2: some state or passed us, and now we're gonna lose football.

795
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 4: That's impossible.

796
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, let that happen. And then all of a sudden,

797
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,760
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen is somebody's gonna hear that, start funding

798
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 3: that program, get better players in there, and we'll go

799
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 3: back to dream team status right Like it's wild. I

800
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 3: think there are certain sports that you know, just are

801
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 3: the way they are. And you know, as much as

802
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 3: we I mentioned cricket earlier, come on, we pulled off

803
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 3: like some historic upset earlier USA did in cricket. So

804
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 3: you know, I'm sure that when that happens the other way,

805
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 3: other countries react the same way. They'll figure that out,

806
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 3: especially with football now, becoming you know, flag football now

807
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 3: becoming part of the Olympics. You just got to feel

808
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 3: like all of these different types of football are going

809
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 3: to get tons of investment because we as a country

810
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 3: refuse to lose in our sport. That's just the way

811
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 3: it's gonna be.

812
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 2: Well, I would say that, but basketball, and I like

813
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 2: the global conversation on first because I think it's interesting.

814
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 2: We just had the NBA draft and the top two

815
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 2: players are from France and you look around and you go, wow,

816
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 2: the European invasion into the NBA is very real.

817
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 4: And not only.

818
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 2: That, but they've become almost leaders on how the game

819
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 2: should be played.

820
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 3: So and to that end, that's because the NBA has

821
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 3: spent decades working on globalization and the NFL is now

822
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 3: doing that. So yeah, I think there is you know,

823
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 3: if the NFL does what they want to do effectively

824
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 3: in global marketing and sport, you and I are both

825
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 3: We both shared the belief that there's going to the

826
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 3: International Series, love it or hate it, is going to

827
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 3: continue to grow. Part of their goal has to be

828
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 3: at that point that football becomes so popular that people

829
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,280
Speaker 3: are playing it in Germany and they're playing it in London,

830
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 3: and they're playing it in Tokyo and all these other

831
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 3: places will eventually if that happens, if people become football

832
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 3: fans growing up, you're going to see more and more

833
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 3: international talent over the place. And you know, in a

834
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 3: few generations, the globalization of what the NFL hopes to

835
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 3: accomplish will mean that we no longer dominate flag football

836
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 3: the same way, or that NFL players will have to

837
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 3: get involved with it. So you know that, I think

838
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 3: that's the inevitability of global success, is that you can

839
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 3: no longer just dominate the sport that you love.

840
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 4: So let me ask you the flag thing.

841
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 2: Because it's easier to market flag football and seven on

842
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 2: seven than it is real football, right, Like, it's just

843
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 2: easier for people to understand the concept, the concepts of it,

844
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 2: right conceptually, it's easier to kind of do it.

845
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 4: Do you like that?

846
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I think there's a place like it's video

847
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 3: game football. It's fun, but like you mentioned, easier. I

848
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 3: think it's also because it's more accessible. Without size, you

849
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 3: can't have an offensive line. I mean, you just you

850
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 3: got to have a ten fat guys that can get

851
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 3: out there and move right, And we've been doing the

852
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,720
Speaker 3: show together for almost a year, and in the process

853
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,760
Speaker 3: of that, I think I've said probably a million times

854
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 3: I do not believe that there are thirty two starting

855
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 3: caliber left and right tackles in the NFL right now.

856
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 3: There's not enough quality offensive lineman. If you want to

857
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 3: globalize the sport truly, I think you have to have

858
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 3: some sort of a flag mindset to do it, because

859
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 3: where are you going to find more offensive linemen? Like

860
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 3: it's just so hard to handle the beef, right, So

861
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 3: if that's the way it's going to be, then for

862
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:35,280
Speaker 3: globalization purposes, having essentially the NBA JAM version. Like, look,

863
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 3: when I play video games, I like to play video

864
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 3: games that are simulations. So I like to play Madden,

865
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 3: you know, like it's a real football program. Like it's

866
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 3: a real football game. I like to run the ball

867
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 3: three yards at a time and bore my opponent. But

868
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 3: that's okay. I enjoy the way football is played, and

869
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 3: that's what the way that game is. You can change

870
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 3: the settings for anyone that doesn't know. You can make

871
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 3: it more or less real. I want it to be

872
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 3: as real as possible. I enjoy playing basketball video games.

873
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,320
Speaker 3: There's real as possible, But I also like playing NFL

874
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 3: blitz an NBA jam where you just go out and

875
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 3: absolutely decimate people.

876
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 4: Right.

877
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 3: So that's what flag football is going to become. It's

878
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 3: the counterprogramming of like, how do we just you know,

879
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 3: put up seventy eighty points. That's the glorious spot that

880
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,479
Speaker 3: the Arena Football League could have been in if they'd

881
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 3: figured out how to not just absolutely bots twoude like people.

882
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 2: Dude, So spot on, so spot on with the Arena

883
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 2: Football League, the two leagues, it's amazing that should have

884
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 2: had better success the World League of American Football.

885
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 4: Right that.

886
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 3: I watched it all the time as a kid.

887
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,919
Speaker 2: So did I, dude, I love That's funny you said

888
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 2: that I loved it.

889
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 4: I thought it was great. I really did. I thought

890
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 4: it was great.

891
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 2: And the owners, who were usually so brilliant, so smart,

892
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 2: they didn't keep it going because it cost them each

893
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 2: like two and a half million bucks, that's all.

894
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 4: It cost them a.

895
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 2: Few million bucks, like as an investment in the future.

896
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:08,720
Speaker 4: And they were there.

897
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 2: They were there in the late nineties, early two thousands,

898
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,879
Speaker 2: they were already in Europe, and they bound How dumb

899
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:17,399
Speaker 2: was that?

900
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 3: How much different would the international thing that they're growing now.

901
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 3: Look if they'd continued to spend that money. And it's

902
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 3: one of those things. I remember the first time we

903
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,839
Speaker 3: went over on tour to Europe. I was talking at

904
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 3: the time, I think we were on the Rascal Flats tour,

905
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 3: and I was talking to the Flask guys about Europe

906
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 3: in general, and they were saying, hey, it's smart to

907
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 3: start tour in Europe when you're what they call a

908
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 3: baby act, when you're a new act, because the hard

909
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 3: part for really established acts is if you're here in

910
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 3: America and you can make you half a million dollars

911
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 3: a night play in a show, but then you got

912
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 3: to go over to Europe and you might in Europe

913
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 3: only play a small club where you're making ten to

914
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 3: fifteen grand. Why would you do that? Why is it

915
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 3: worth making less money? And that's such a short sighted

916
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 3: way to look at that. If you want to be global,

917
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,879
Speaker 3: if you want to globalize your audience, right, you got

918
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 3: to spend the money from day one of Okay, this

919
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 3: is how we want to do it. If the NFL

920
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,839
Speaker 3: kept spending that two and a half million dollars a year,

921
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 3: they'd have a much larger stranglehold on all of what

922
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 3: they're trying to accomplish now with the International Series. So

923
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 3: it was short sighted.

924
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, big time, big time, And they were making some

925
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 2: headway too, like they really were. They had a lot

926
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 2: of players from there on coaches, and you know, I

927
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 2: wanted to see my boy Steve Spagnola, who was the

928
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator for Chiefs, a friend of mine.

929
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 4: He he's down the shore.

930
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 2: I want to go see him at the at the

931
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 2: seashore we call it on the East coast UH this

932
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 2: week and he came. He was in he was in

933
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 2: in Germany, UH, making his bones. He was in Barcelona.

934
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:53,280
Speaker 2: A lot of great coaches made their made their bones

935
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 2: in that league young players.

936
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 4: It was a feeding system to that point.

937
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 3: They've talked so much about the fact that hiring head

938
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 3: coaches in the NFL is more difficult than ever because

939
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 3: it's such a different skill set to being a coordinator.

940
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 3: And we all know that there's been a huge push

941
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 3: on how do we get qualified minority candidates more opportunities

942
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 3: to showcase what they can do as a head coach.

943
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 3: Wouldn't having kept the World League have accomplished a lot

944
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 3: of that cold You can watch coordinators without taking real

945
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,359
Speaker 3: time off of their actual coordinating jobs, even could go over.

946
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:28,760
Speaker 3: They could coach through a mini portion of the season.

947
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 3: They could get some head coaching reps. Essentially, they can

948
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 3: get some tape on that. Essentially they can learn who

949
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 3: they want to be as a head coach and then

950
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 3: come back to their regular job at the NFL. Like

951
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 3: that that only would have only made sense to me.

952
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great point. That's a great point.

953
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 3: West where I'll also say becausin That's where I constantly

954
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 3: say the NFL if they really wanted to, I still

955
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 3: support that the NFL could make spring football work and

956
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 3: a heartbeat if they simply made a minor league system,

957
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 3: Like if you created spring football where the team and

958
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 3: Marino affiliate it's with the Raiders, and the team in

959
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 3: Memphis affiliates with Tennessee, and the team in Hartford affiliates

960
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,919
Speaker 3: with you know, New York and all, like, you could

961
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 3: give markets that don't have NFL football NFL love. And

962
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 3: as a Raiders fan, you think I wouldn't watch every

963
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 3: you know, Renal Pirates game every single week just to

964
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 3: see what it looks like for who the future practice

965
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 3: squad guys could be. Hell yeah, I would like if

966
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 3: the NFL wanted to do that, model's right there. They

967
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:25,280
Speaker 3: just don't want to spend the money.

968
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 4: Well, I guess they look at like this too.

969
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 2: The bulk of your minor league system would have to

970
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 2: be non college guys because and they're looking at it like, hey, listen,

971
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 2: I have a free minor league system called college football.

972
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 2: Why would I want to get involved in that business?

973
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 4: Now?

974
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:52,399
Speaker 2: I think having a spring league overseas for the hey,

975
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:56,439
Speaker 2: the fringe college kids, maybe the guy that's been out

976
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:01,720
Speaker 2: undrafted free agents, that makes sense doing it in Europe

977
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 2: because you're growing a.

978
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 4: Game and you have a pool of players.

979
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 2: But you know they're gonna be like, we're not creating

980
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 2: any kind of minor league system because we have one

981
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 2: in place right now.

982
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 3: I just think that if you had, even if you

983
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 3: did it in Europe and you affiliated it with actual teams,

984
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 3: now you get guaranteed viewership. Like how many people right

985
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 3: now if there was an opportunity in May to watch

986
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 3: a you know, if you're a diehard Chiefs fan and

987
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 3: you know the German team affiliates with the Chiefs, you'd

988
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:37,919
Speaker 3: watch that in May. You're like, yeah, let's go see

989
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 3: these guys that you know, let's see if anybody wins

990
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 3: a roster spot. Let's see if there's any exemption to

991
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 3: the practice squad for one of these guys, and the

992
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 3: guys get more reps.

993
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I love that idea. I do.

994
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:53,240
Speaker 2: My only problem would be I can't have thirty teams

995
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 2: right now.

996
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 3: That is difficult. There's no doubt that that would be.

997
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:02,279
Speaker 2: I mean, I love the concept because you're like, oh, man,

998
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 2: I if I'm a cheat, You're right, Because if I'm

999
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 2: a Raiders fan and it's the Barcelona Raiders, I'm automatically in.

1000
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 2: All right, I'm automatically eight because I do. You're right,

1001
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 2: I want to see it. Problem is, I just don't

1002
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 2: know how you get around thirty teams. The lack of

1003
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 2: players is kind of what's going to get you, right,

1004
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 2: because there's only a finite amount of these kids that

1005
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 2: you can get before the game is just not good.

1006
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, And putting players all over doesn't work. Like

1007
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 3: I don't. I'm not gonna watch eighteen of these games

1008
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 3: because there's a guy that's affiliated with the Raiders on

1009
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 3: this team and versus the guy affiliated with the Raiders

1010
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 3: on that team. They have to be on one team.

1011
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 3: It is a It is an interesting, you know process,

1012
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 3: and you, as we all know, as we you know,

1013
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 3: brace for the release of the EA Sports College Football game.

1014
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 4: You're, oh, dude, mostrageous man.

1015
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 3: I have never seen a sports video game this. I

1016
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 3: don't know, I've ever seen a video game this hype.

1017
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 3: And they've done a brilliant job of like, let's tell

1018
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 3: everybody who the best offenses are, which is just creating

1019
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 3: the Peyton argument around the game. Now, the best defense

1020
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 3: is to Peyton argument around the game. Top teams.

1021
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 2: So I got to ask you, all right, I want

1022
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 2: to coming up. Maybe I'll come up. We'll bring it up.

1023
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 2: But they listed the top best stadiums, like the top

1024
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:29,319
Speaker 2: where you got home field advantage. I got to talk

1025
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 2: to you about this because I'm like, really, I don't

1026
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 2: know about it.

1027
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 4: Well, I want to. I want to run it by you,

1028
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:36,399
Speaker 4: all right.

1029
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 2: And the other thing I needed to talk to you

1030
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 2: about too is Monday is the USA Soccer men's soccer

1031
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 2: right to get out of the group stage of the

1032
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:50,240
Speaker 2: COPA Tournament.

1033
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 4: They lost to Panama. There was a red card.

1034
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 2: The kid punched the other kid in the face, you know,

1035
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 2: United States kid punch Patamini player in the faiths and

1036
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 2: got the red card. They should still have won, but

1037
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 2: they lose, and all all you hear is, oh my god,

1038
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 2: Like they have to win on Monday, and they have

1039
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 2: a tough match because they're going to have to play Uruguay.

1040
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 2: Thank you, who's really good? Who just came off a

1041
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 2: score and whenever it was four or five goals? Where

1042
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 2: are you at with this whole state of USA soccer?

1043
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 2: It feels like and again I'm not the biggest like

1044
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 2: on a soccer man like in that sense, but I

1045
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 2: hear it's like the same story every year.

1046
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 4: Oh it's the year, it's the year, and it's over

1047
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 4: the year.

1048
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's why this one hurts, because

1049
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 3: the first two matches were both set up to be

1050
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,439
Speaker 3: so easy. USA takes care of business in the first

1051
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 3: match they win to nil, but like the interesting part

1052
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,479
Speaker 3: of that is it could have been six or seven,

1053
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:07,760
Speaker 3: like it wasn't. Yes, you talk to the soccer community,

1054
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 3: they'll tell you that first game was not impressive enough,

1055
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 3: but everybody sort of qualified it. And then in the

1056
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 3: second match, they come out, they score an early goal

1057
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 3: and you think they have all the momentum, but then

1058
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 3: you know obviously they review it to take the goal

1059
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 3: off the board, and then you get the red card,

1060
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 3: and it just felt like the team deflated. And even

1061
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 3: with the red card, they were still faster, better struggling

1062
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 3: than that. They were the better team. That you win

1063
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 3: that you have to and now you're in a difficult

1064
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 3: match situation. I don't know. I think this is a

1065
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 3: pretty epic failure for men's soccer, and this is why

1066
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:44,320
Speaker 3: it becomes so difficult for fans. I think to everybody

1067
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 3: always talks about, well, soccer's blown up, soccer's blown up.

1068
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 3: Fine in America, I should say, fine, I get all that.

1069
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 3: It just feels like Charlie Charlie Brown running up to

1070
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 3: kick the football. We fall for this every few years

1071
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 3: and it's like, oh no, this is the time, this

1072
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:00,479
Speaker 3: team is really good and all this home own talent

1073
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:02,320
Speaker 3: is really good, and then you go out and you

1074
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 3: lose that Like it just it makes an unbelieving world

1075
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 3: even more of unbelievers.

1076
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, now, I think that's spot on. Man.

1077
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 2: I think it's spot on because I look at it

1078
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 2: and go, how many times are we gonna hear about this?

1079
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 4: Now you could.

1080
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 2: See to your point, you could see their talent level,

1081
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 2: like they look different than they have kind of ever looked.

1082
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 2: But you know, you can't lose that match, and now

1083
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 2: you can't not get to the to the next night.

1084
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 2: Here all kinds of stories. Oh they don't like the coach.

1085
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,840
Speaker 2: That's no excuse to lose, to not get out of

1086
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 2: group stage. I mean, that's that's not that's that's it

1087
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 2: is a colossal failure, especially with US host in that tournament,

1088
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 2: the tournaments in the United States.

1089
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, And the other part of it is, and I

1090
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 3: think this is interesting, is that Uruguay, who is the

1091
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,799
Speaker 3: favorite coming into this for the for the group, they

1092
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:05,799
Speaker 3: haven't clinched their spot, so they actually have something to

1093
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 3: play for. So everything has gone the wrong way for

1094
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 3: America at this point, Like because you're Aguay has to

1095
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 3: go out and they gotta go out and play lights out,

1096
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 3: so they're gonna bring everything. It's not like they're just

1097
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 3: gonna mail this one in and the US can advance

1098
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 3: without a win. So it's just I you're right too,

1099
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 3: it's an epic disaster. Anytime the home country is irrelevant

1100
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 3: in a in a tournament, it's bad for the tournament overall.

1101
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:30,959
Speaker 3: It's just gonna be bad for the crowds. It's gonna

1102
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 3: be bad for the energy, it's a bad look. It's

1103
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 3: going to cause a global conversation again about why US

1104
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 3: soccer can't keep up and all of these different things

1105
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 3: like yeah, it's it's it's an epic fail.

1106
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 2: And it comes on the heels that the next big

1107
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 2: thing in two years is the World Cups. You know,

1108
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 2: two summers from now, the World Cup will be here

1109
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 2: and that will be a monster, Like that's gonna be

1110
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 2: a big deal throughout this country.

1111
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 3: And what has this team shown so far in this

1112
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 3: tournament to make anybody believe that the World Cup is

1113
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 3: going to go different like that? Right, That's the hardest

1114
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 3: part about it is that, you know, a strong run here,

1115
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 3: even if it had resulted in nothing but a strong

1116
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 3: run of great competitiveness against the best teams in the

1117
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 3: world and a little bit of domination, would have given

1118
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 3: everybody that just that little little bit of hope, that

1119
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 3: little ember of burning hope where it's like, yeah, but

1120
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 3: just wait to the World Cup when this young team

1121
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 3: has a couple of years to come together, and that's

1122
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 3: that's not at all the narrative now. And if they

1123
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 3: get beat on Monday night, it's just gonna be all right, Well,

1124
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 3: let's just wait and see if things get fixed by

1125
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 3: the World Cup. That's such a different hype energy. It's

1126
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 3: it's really unfortunate for the sport, for the country, for

1127
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 3: the team, for everybody.

1128
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 4: Now you're spot on, all right, coming up.

1129
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 2: I got to ask you because we got to do

1130
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 2: this NFL ticket thing so it keeps.

1131
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 4: People don't realize the.

1132
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 2: The NFL got sued about the NFL Sunday ticket on

1133
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 2: Direct TV. They've in order to pay you know, several

1134
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 2: billion dollars, Dave, They're gonna peel it.

1135
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 4: But it's going to.

1136
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 2: Change the way we watch television and we watch the NFL.

1137
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 2: All the streaming evolved. I gotta get into it with

1138
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 2: it because I'm fascinated by the whole TV aspect of

1139
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 2: it all. All right, where the fella is right here

01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:16,800

1153
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 2: you were down, When you were down at Rivals, the

1154
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 2: story broke. I didn't hear about it until you texted

1155
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 2: me or Figgie and I and you let us know

1156
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 2: about this whole thing.

1157
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 4: And I'm like, wow, man, that was a bombshell.

1158
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 2: And I answer said, so, how do you think this

1159
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 2: plays out? Because this is a big deal when it

1160
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 2: comes to sports television.

1161
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. So the jury finding in favor of the case

1162
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 3: against the NFL Sunday ticket in an astronomical amount, and

1163
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 3: I mean I think the final was like four point

1164
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 3: seven billion dollars. And then because of anti trust rules

1165
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 3: and the way that that works, that that verdict actually

1166
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 3: gets tripled to what end up costing the NFL thirteen

1167
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 3: fourteen billion dollar when this thing is all said and

1168
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 3: done as it sits now is substantial because look, they're

1169
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 3: going to go through appeals and everybody's talking about that.

1170
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 3: Maybe money isn't paid out for years, maybe another court

1171
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 3: changes something, But as of right now, the main portion

1172
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 3: of the ruling is that the NFL essentially knowingly put

1173
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 3: their product behind a pay system that created a monopoly

1174
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 3: and allowed them to overcharge for it and all of

1175
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 3: these different things. Now, the NFL argued that it was

1176
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 3: a premier product and they had the right to do that,

1177
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 3: but the jury found that that's not the case. And

1178
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 3: so the whole crux of the lawsuit was the NFL

1179
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 3: knowingly put it only available to certain people and then

1180
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 3: charged too much for it. Essentially, they didn't allow fair

1181
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 3: market competition. So it immediately creates a conversation even about

1182
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 3: right now what to do because the NFL lost his lawsuits.

1183
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 3: So and if the number stayed where it is today,

1184
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 3: you'd be talking about I think it's you'd be talking

1185
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 3: about up to three thousand dollars people could be getting

1186
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 3: that had some Sunday ticket as a check back for overcharging.

1187
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 3: So the NFL has to decide.

1188
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 2: Now, let me ask your question, how do I get

1189
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 2: my money? Because I've been I was in a Sunday

1190
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 2: ticket person forever.

1191
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 3: So if you had Sunday ticket from twenty eleven to

1192
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three. That's the window there were twenty twenty two.

1193
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 3: That's the window that was covered in this lawsuit. They

1194
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 3: already have your email, so it'll go back like you'll

1195
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 3: get the notification from how you signed up, but everybody

1196
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 3: automatically is opted in, so there'll be a time where

1197
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 3: you have to click a box basically to be like, yes,

1198
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 3: I want my check. But what's interesting is the whole

1199
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 3: part of this is that the NFL argued, well, we

1200
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 3: show local games in local markets, so we're not really

1201
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 3: doing the wrong thing. The lawsuit argued that they could

1202
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 3: have and should have made different packages available that were

1203
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 3: more affordable, and that they should have been able to

1204
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,600
Speaker 3: people should be able to do different things. I experienced

1205
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 3: this fifteen years ago on the road. I was stunned

1206
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 3: in England when I looked for the NFL Sunday ticket

1207
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 3: and I found out that over there you can buy

1208
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 3: just one week of the ticket, for example, or you

1209
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 3: can buy and it's the same product as the NFL

1210
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 3: Sunday ticket, you can buy one week of it, or

1211
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 3: if you're just a Raiders fan, you can buy just

1212
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 3: the raiders options that we don't have in America.

1213
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 4: Yea, why I didn't know that that's wild.

1214
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 3: Internationally, they've always had just buy. You can buy the

1215
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:23,959
Speaker 3: whole season, the whole league. You can buy one week,

1216
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 3: or you can buy the whole season for one team.

1217
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 3: So and in fact, like buying a week was like

1218
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 3: ten bucks or fifteen bucks. So like when I was

1219
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 3: on tour, I would just buy the week every week

1220
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 3: at a time and then watch it that way. So

1221
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 3: what's wild is that, you know, in Pro Football Talk

1222
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 3: talked a little bit about this yesterday. Because they've been

1223
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 3: found guilty in this process, they could dig their heels

1224
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,640
Speaker 3: in and say, well, we're gonna wait till appeal, but

1225
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 3: there's so much money on the line. The question is

1226
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 3: right now, even this year, will they now quickly change

1227
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 3: with the YouTube TV and at least allow people the

1228
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 3: opportunity to buy just a team so that they're not

1229
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 3: creating future liability because if they appeal this, there's already

1230
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:07,920
Speaker 3: a suit, Like there's already been another class action file

1231
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 3: that covers twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four. So

1232
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 3: like every year that they continue to let this go,

1233
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 3: if they lose, they're going to lose more money. So

1234
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 3: it is interesting because the whole model of how we

1235
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 3: watch TV is about to change, Like are they going

1236
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 3: to make it available on other platforms of their services?

1237
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 3: Are they going to make individual teams available? Are they

1238
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 3: going to make it all cheaper? Like? What are they

1239
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 3: going to do? And they may have to make that

1240
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 3: decision as soon as right now if they want to

1241
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 3: limit future liability.

1242
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 2: Well that's wild. It's funny. I never knew that about Europe.

1243
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 2: But you know, you always wonder why they never did

1244
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 2: it that way where you know you could buy, like

1245
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 2: if you just wanted one game one week, you know,

1246
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 2: you know, here's a dollar ninety nine and I'll watch

1247
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 2: a game, right like like they should offer everything almost

1248
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 2: to a la carte and kind of build your own burger,

1249
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 2: right Like you know we've all been to the build

1250
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 2: your own burger place, right, you know, I want onions

1251
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:12,959
Speaker 2: and blue cheese and jalapenos or whatever, like you should

1252
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 2: be able to build your own package. Like I'll buy

1253
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:20,439
Speaker 2: this game because I'm home this weekend and I want

1254
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 2: to watch this game, So I want to buy this

1255
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 2: game for a dollar ninety nine or I'm a Raider

1256
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 2: fan living in you know, Philadelphia, and I'll buy the

1257
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 2: Raiders package, Like you should be.

1258
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 4: Able to do all that.

1259
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 3: I think the reason they never did it, though, is

1260
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 3: because they knew and they know, like, I'm gonna get

1261
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:42,840
Speaker 3: Sunday ticket this year, right, like I get it every year. Well,

1262
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,520
Speaker 3: they know that I'm not gonna say no to it.

1263
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 3: And it doesn't like it's a job requirement. But it's

1264
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 3: also I'm a diehard Raiders fan and when you're living

1265
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:53,439
Speaker 3: in different parts of the country, it's hard to find

1266
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 3: a spot where you can always watch those games. And

1267
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 3: you know, I yell a lot during the game. Do

1268
01:05:57,560 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 3: I want to be out and about I don't know,

1269
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 3: you know, So it's but it has become so expensive

1270
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 3: because it's almost five hundred bucks this year, right, So

1271
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 3: you know when you start thinking about that, I've actually

1272
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 3: done the cost analysis, if you will. At times of thinking, okay, well,

1273
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 3: what if I went to the same bar every Sunday

1274
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 3: and at least sat you know, like maybe I could

1275
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 3: talk to the bar at the beginning of the year

1276
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 3: and say hey, and I this sounds crazy, but hear

1277
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:22,439
Speaker 3: me out. If you are an out of found fan,

1278
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 3: out a town fan of a team. I bet you've

1279
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:27,520
Speaker 3: done this at some point. You go into a bar

1280
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 3: at the beginning of the year and you're like, hey,

1281
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be here every every week, can you put

1282
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 3: the Raiders on this TV? I've done that in the

1283
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 3: past of other places. Like is it coming? Is it

1284
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 3: becoming cheaper to just go to a bar and have

1285
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 3: your cause you're still gonna buy food at home. You're

1286
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 3: still gonna have like, you're still gonna eat and drink

1287
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 3: something while you're watching the game. It's still gonna cost

1288
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 3: you a little there. And when you start factoring in, okay,

1289
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 3: seventeen games five they want, you know, almost five hundred

1290
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 3: bucks for it this year. That's a lot of money

1291
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 3: per game. And we're getting to the spot where if

1292
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 3: it's five hundred bucks divided by seventeen, that's twenty nine

1293
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 3: bucks a week. It's thy bucks a weekend just to

1294
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,960
Speaker 3: have Sunday ticket if you want to watch games at home.

1295
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 2: So here's the thing, right, it's a great exercise, but

1296
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 2: it's still worth it because if you went to the

1297
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 2: bar every week, you're spending a hundred bucks.

1298
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I am. I you're because also, I think.

1299
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 2: Things are expensive now like now, like going out like

1300
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 2: you might if this was a corner bar ten years ago,

1301
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 2: you might have something right, but now it's so expensive,

1302
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 2: like you could have a regular burger like one of

1303
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 2: those mid chain places or whatever, and you're spending big money.

1304
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:51,479
Speaker 3: Like inflation is.

1305
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:54,439
Speaker 2: So whack that it's you're it's so out of whack

1306
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 2: that you're it kills you.

1307
01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:00,920
Speaker 3: And the other side of it is I personally would

1308
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 3: never feel I never have felt good about like, you

1309
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 3: know what, I'm gonna sit at this seat for the

1310
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 3: next three and a half hours in this packed bar,

1311
01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 3: or if I'm watching all the games for the next

1312
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 3: eight hours in this pack bar, and what I'm really

1313
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 3: gonna try to do while I'm here is spend as

1314
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 3: little as possible, Like that is such a prime piece

1315
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 3: of real estate in that bar that day, for that

1316
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 3: server and for that bar.

1317
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, I can't do that.

1318
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like all right, books, yeah.

1319
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 4: You got to take care of yourself. Let's take care

1320
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 4: of your server.

1321
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen like you bar said you gotta make

1322
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:39,519
Speaker 2: sure come on like so, no, I'm with you, But

1323
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 2: to your point, it's I mean, it's like it's insane,

1324
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 2: like five hundred bucks a lot of money to go

1325
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,640
Speaker 2: and you know, like this is my Sunday ticket, like

1326
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 2: you know that Enjoy.

1327
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 3: That doesn't that doesn't include Yahoo did the breakdown a

1328
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 3: few months ago and this year to watch every single game,

1329
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:01,439
Speaker 3: if you really want that, it's going to cost you

1330
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty five dollars in services, right, So

1331
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 3: that's what it costs now, Like if you want every

1332
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:08,479
Speaker 3: you got to make sure you have and that's just

1333
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:10,760
Speaker 3: to have Peacock the month's Peacock have a game, and

1334
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 3: just to have Netflix the months Netflix have a game. Now,

1335
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:15,600
Speaker 3: I realize a lot of people already have Netflix so

1336
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 3: like it. Maybe it's not added on, they already have

1337
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:21,240
Speaker 3: things like that. Maybe it's not added on, but it's real.

1338
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 3: It's so expensive at this point just to sit at

1339
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 3: home and watch that. You know, people decided they'd had enough.

1340
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:32,400
Speaker 3: And it is an interesting economics argument that I'm not

1341
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 3: smart enough to understand, because the NFL made it very

1342
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 3: clear that they feel like they should be able to

1343
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 3: price a premium product. However, they want to price a

1344
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 3: premium product, and I don't necessarily hate that logic for them,

1345
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 3: Like I choose to spend that money on Sunday ticket.

1346
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 3: But you know, obviously there's a reason that we have

1347
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,759
Speaker 3: the laws that we have to prevent, you know, people

1348
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 3: from over charging on things like this, so they lose

1349
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 3: the case. And it was a jury, you know, a

1350
01:09:57,520 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 3: jury of people that decided that on that number of

1351
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 3: four point seven ish billion dollars, and that's that's just

1352
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 3: that's an insane amount of money because of the way

1353
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:08,280
Speaker 3: anty trust laws and work and the tripling of it

1354
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 3: and all of this stuff. Like you're talking about revenue

1355
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 3: that would actually impact the NFL. Like when you're talking

1356
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 3: about a thirteen or fourteen or fifteen billion dollar judgment,

1357
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:20,479
Speaker 3: which is what we're talking about, you are literally talking

1358
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 3: about the type of judgment that will impact every NFL

1359
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:26,760
Speaker 3: owner's bottom line, every team, Like you're talking about substantial

1360
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:28,599
Speaker 3: money to every single one of these guys.

1361
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, now you're no, it's wild, man, It really is.

1362
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:37,240
Speaker 2: It's it's it's it's wild. I have what's your what's

1363
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:44,600
Speaker 2: your favorite way to watch just to consume football?

1364
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 3: Awesome sports bar, great vibe, early afternoon games because there's

1365
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:53,719
Speaker 3: always so many games going on right there, like it stinks,

1366
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 3: you know, and as a Raiders fan, you know, Eastern

1367
01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 3: for whatever, four twenty five Eastern. When that game kicks off,

1368
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 3: the bars emptied out by then. That's part of why

1369
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:05,519
Speaker 3: I'm the one guy in America that doesn't really love

1370
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:08,240
Speaker 3: Sunday night football. To me, it's like the vibes just

1371
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 3: sort of down at that point. I love early afternoon.

1372
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:14,120
Speaker 4: You like to be out though. That's what's interesting.

1373
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:16,160
Speaker 3: As long as there's not the Raiders game. I want

1374
01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:18,520
Speaker 3: to be out. Yeah. I like to be like sportsbook,

1375
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 3: sports bar where people are yelling and screaming, Oh give

1376
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 3: it to me.

1377
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:24,880
Speaker 4: Wow, it's fascinating. See.

1378
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:29,160
Speaker 2: ID like to be home, like Sunday is my is

1379
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 2: my day, Like just to be home. College football, I

1380
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 2: prefer still want.

1381
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:39,000
Speaker 4: I prefer watching home, but I'll watch I can watch that.

1382
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 2: We used to there was a local bar we used

1383
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:45,559
Speaker 2: to hang at and we would do the eleven thirty.

1384
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 2: We'd meet there eleven thirty a m. Watch the noon

1385
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:52,879
Speaker 2: game three thirty. There's all Eastern time noon three thirty,

1386
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:55,680
Speaker 2: and then you're into the night game, right Like. There

1387
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 2: was always like a pretty big SCC game on it

1388
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 2: seven and then you had your national game at eight,

1389
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 2: and we would do the whole shift but you know,

1390
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 2: sometimes we would sometimes we'd stay and watch the Sunday

1391
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:13,160
Speaker 2: night game. I mean it's Saturday night game, and but

1392
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 2: we loved it like it was. It was a great

1393
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 2: it was fun. It was college football all thing. But

1394
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:20,759
Speaker 2: there's something about the NFL that and Sunday, like Sunday,

1395
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:23,640
Speaker 2: I need to be home. It's interesting you like to

1396
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 2: be out on a Sunday amongst people.

1397
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:31,479
Speaker 3: Because I want the especially when I'm trying to watch

1398
01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:33,000
Speaker 3: all the games and once like, look, I'm not a

1399
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 3: red zone guy. I'm the first to admit it. I

1400
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 3: know a lot of me I am not.

1401
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:37,479
Speaker 4: I'm not either red zone.

1402
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:40,639
Speaker 3: I feel like red zone doesn't you know it's fine?

1403
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 3: Really give me. Yeah, it doesn't give me too much

1404
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 3: of a sense of what's going on. When you're in

1405
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:46,800
Speaker 3: the bar and you're watching all the games at once,

1406
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:48,560
Speaker 3: you're just sort of floating around and then all of

1407
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:51,000
Speaker 3: a sudden you hear a bunch of people screaming and yelling.

1408
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 3: I love having that. Like I'm an energy guy, so

1409
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:56,640
Speaker 3: I love capturing other people's energy. You know, if I

1410
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 3: could have a dream situation, I've never found this, but

1411
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 3: if I could have a dream situation, I would actually

1412
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 3: just have a wall of TV's at my place, and

1413
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:06,840
Speaker 3: I would have like twenty guys over every Sunday, and

1414
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:09,679
Speaker 3: my place would become the NFL Sunday ticket watch party place.

1415
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 3: The problem with that is, like that's a great idea

1416
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:14,680
Speaker 3: early in the season, and then everybody starts figure out

1417
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:16,680
Speaker 3: their team sucks and they start to stop coming, you know.

1418
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 3: So like early in the yes, it's such a vibe

1419
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:22,840
Speaker 3: at your house. By like by week twelve, everybody's like, nah, man,

1420
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 3: I got other stuff I gotta do today. And I'm like, well,

1421
01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:27,400
Speaker 3: your team stinks, but aren't you still gonna watch them?

1422
01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:30,479
Speaker 3: Like I don't. I've never understood it, but certainly the

1423
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 3: vibe in week twelve is different than the vibe in

1424
01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:32,599
Speaker 3: week two.

1425
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:35,960
Speaker 4: Do you like to watch games at all by yourself?

1426
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:39,559
Speaker 3: Raiders games? Yeah, I like to watch Raiders games by myself.

1427
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:41,679
Speaker 3: I watch a lot of college football by myself too.

1428
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:45,439
Speaker 3: I think that's just proximity, Like there just aren't I

1429
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:48,000
Speaker 3: hate going to a sports bar, especially all the time

1430
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,400
Speaker 3: in Connecticut. You go into a sports bar where nobody

1431
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 3: cares about college football, which is very true up there.

1432
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 3: Then like you walk in and it's a dead vibe

1433
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 3: and the bar is playing music instead of audio.

1434
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 2: From Ah, that's the worst. I hate a music dude.

1435
01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:07,559
Speaker 2: If I'm going to your you're a sports bar, let's see,

1436
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:09,600
Speaker 2: you're just a regular bar. You're just looking for a

1437
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 2: you know, ambiance and vibe whatever. But if you're a

1438
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:18,320
Speaker 2: sports bar, stove violation. You gotta have the sound. But

1439
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:21,479
Speaker 2: I want to hear the announcers. I don't want to

1440
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:23,240
Speaker 2: hear music, Bob.

1441
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:26,120
Speaker 3: It's like a vibe. Like, so there's this there's this

1442
01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:30,920
Speaker 3: dive sports bar in Connecticut right down from the house

1443
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:33,160
Speaker 3: over there and it's called the Bar on Seater and

1444
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:36,200
Speaker 3: no free shoutouts with free shoutout uh, they've got like

1445
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 3: but it's a good dive bar. Like the food's good,

1446
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 3: the servers are all nice like that. It's it's like

1447
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:42,599
Speaker 3: it's sort of an older crowd a lot of times,

1448
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:45,479
Speaker 3: but everybody's hanging out. It's good vibe. But like every

1449
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:48,719
Speaker 3: single time if there's not a New England based sporting

1450
01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 3: event going on, they've got like one of those touch

1451
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:54,599
Speaker 3: tunes sort of things that is just it's it's loud.

1452
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,679
Speaker 3: It's loud, and they are cranking some sort of loud

1453
01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 3: obnoxious music the entire time, and even I asked him

1454
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 3: one time during a playoff game. I was like, can

1455
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 3: we turn the audio from the game on? They're like, no, man,

1456
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 3: and that's it. And so you know I can't. I

1457
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:08,519
Speaker 3: can't take that risk on a game name. I can't

1458
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:09,080
Speaker 3: take that risk.

1459
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 2: I'm with you, fellas, stay right there, stay right here

01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:08,520

1471
01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:10,040
Speaker 4: You want to see if you get the top ten.

1472
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:10,840
Speaker 4: Have you seen it?

1473
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 3: So I've seen I saw it and immediately rolled my eyes.

1474
01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 3: I mean I rolled my eyes from the absolute first,

1475
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 3: first top of the list, the very top of the list.

1476
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 3: I rolled my eyes too.

1477
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 2: I we'll go discussed. Yeah, well, let's discuss that. So

1478
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:33,280
Speaker 2: let's start. I'll start from twenty five to one. All right,

1479
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:38,959
Speaker 2: so real quick. Davis Waite, Stateia, Mississippi State, Albertson Stadium,

1480
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:46,439
Speaker 2: Boise the Blue Field is twenty four, Arkansas's twenty three,

1481
01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 2: Michigan State twenty two. Notre Dame is twenty one. What

1482
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 2: do you think of that?

1483
01:16:54,360 --> 01:16:54,599
Speaker 4: Low?

1484
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:58,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh no, that definitely seems low. Like right, that

1485
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:01,880
Speaker 3: seems low, especially you know when you start comparing it

1486
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:04,760
Speaker 3: to where Sparty is with that, like Michigan State and

1487
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:06,479
Speaker 3: Notre Dame. I do not think of the same when

1488
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:08,519
Speaker 3: I think of home field advantage at all. Like nobody's

1489
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 3: sitting there saying, oh my god, but you got to

1490
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:13,120
Speaker 3: figure out how to win at night, you know, Michigan State,

1491
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:15,439
Speaker 3: but they do say that, you know about Notre Dame.

1492
01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, I thought I was a little surprised by that.

1493
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 4: Kimmick Stadium, Iowa comes in at.

1494
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:25,640
Speaker 3: Twenty again, the fact that we're putting that ahead of

1495
01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:28,439
Speaker 3: Notre Dame. I've been to games at Iowa and like

1496
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:31,439
Speaker 3: it's it's good, it's fine. It's a nice little environment.

1497
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 3: I would not have put that above Notre.

1498
01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:38,120
Speaker 4: Dame, Texas nineteen.

1499
01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 2: Hmm, I mean right, yeah, eighteen is uh Utah.

1500
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:52,360
Speaker 4: Utah is that I've never been.

1501
01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:56,559
Speaker 2: I've been to Provo for BYU, but I've never covered

1502
01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:57,439
Speaker 2: a game in Utah.

1503
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:00,080
Speaker 3: I've never covered a game at Utah. I hear it

1504
01:17:59,880 --> 01:18:04,600
Speaker 3: is incredible. I will say that I've heard incredible things.

1505
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 4: All right now.

1506
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 2: I know Blacksburg is nasty like like, especially back in

1507
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 2: the day when it was Beamer Ball. I mean when

1508
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 2: it was when you had you know, VA Tech was

1509
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:22,760
Speaker 2: was crazy.

1510
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:27,519
Speaker 3: Yeah. I feel like Lane Stadium would be higher than

1511
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 3: seventeen if the team were still good like historically. That's

1512
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:34,640
Speaker 3: low currently, that's probably accurate because you know, it's just

1513
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:36,320
Speaker 3: not an imposing team right now.

1514
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 2: Well back right, because back in the day when it

1515
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 2: was Beamer Ball, you remember how crazy it was. You

1516
01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:46,880
Speaker 2: got a Thursday night, like a Thursday night VA Tech game.

1517
01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 2: It was awesome. It was tough, so dude, but this

1518
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:56,200
Speaker 2: is nuts. The big House sixteen.

1519
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 3: That to me, it was probably the biggest surprise for

1520
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 3: a low ranking, the fact that the big House is

1521
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:08,920
Speaker 3: at sixteen. If that's the sixteenth best atmosphere, I want

1522
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:10,760
Speaker 3: them to keep that same energy this year when we

1523
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:13,519
Speaker 3: get any game at Michigan right, Like, it's just because

1524
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 3: it doesn't feel like that, just that feels gross. For

1525
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:22,479
Speaker 3: point of reference, Oklahoma's much higher. I don't understand. I

1526
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:25,759
Speaker 3: don't understand why Michigan is getting sold that far down.

1527
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:29,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm stunned by that. Stunned.

1528
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:36,440
Speaker 2: Now Williams Price Stadium, South Carolina comes in at fifteen.

1529
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:40,960
Speaker 4: I mean, good atmosphere, but over the Big House.

1530
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:44,559
Speaker 3: Yeah it's loud and obnoxious, but it doesn't have the

1531
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:46,599
Speaker 3: same daunting feel to me that the Big House has.

1532
01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:52,400
Speaker 4: For sure exactly. Jordan Hare Auburn fourteen.

1533
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:55,720

1534
01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:59,599
Speaker 3: Auburn's a very good environment. But what did we say

1535
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:02,599
Speaker 3: a minute go about Virginia Tech? Like, so we're talking

1536

1537
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:06,960

01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:58,160

01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:05,479
Speaker 4: Man.

1569
01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 2: That game has been has disappeared with disappear for a bit,

1570
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:13,559
Speaker 2: and it's come back and people are freaking out over it.

1571
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:18,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, because it's been taken away for so long.

1572
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:21,559
Speaker 3: This is one of those moments where you know, we've

1573
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 3: gotten so used to what Madden is, and at this point,

1574
01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 3: Madden is just every year. It's easy to just dump

1575
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:30,640
Speaker 3: on it, you know what I mean. It's easy to

1576
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:32,360
Speaker 3: sit around and say, well, the game stinks, they never

1577
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:34,960
Speaker 3: changed anything, blah blah blah blah blah. They've had so

1578
01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:38,680
Speaker 3: long to get this college football thing together because of

1579
01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 3: the gap and the lawsuits and all of these things.

1580
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:44,160
Speaker 3: It's just been taken from everybody. We haven't seen it

1581
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:47,479
Speaker 3: on a modern platform like the juice we're all feeling

1582
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:49,800
Speaker 3: for July nineteenth or July sixteenth, if you have the

1583
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 3: pre sale is absolutely wild. And the fact that there

1584
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:55,720
Speaker 3: are people, I mean in my social circle, there are

1585
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:57,720
Speaker 3: people already hit me up saying I'm taking the day

1586
01:22:57,760 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 3: off and let's play the game all day, Like that's

1587
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:01,439

Speaker 4: And you know, that's a great day. Oh my God, let's.

Speaker 3: and just gonna sit back and you know, maybe maybe

01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:35,200
Speaker 3: win the national championship on the game.

1599
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:38,679
Speaker 4: I freaking love it. That is cool.

1600
01:23:38,720 --> 01:23:42,320
Speaker 2: I may have to take the ride one day, man.

1601
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:47,479
Speaker 2: I mean I'm only you know whatever, four hours so

1602
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 2: from you. Yeah, I might have to take the ride. Man,

1603
01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 2: It's that's awesome. I actually do that. That was one

1604
01:23:55,479 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 2: of the great bonding you know, just like your freight,

1605
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:01,960
Speaker 2: you and your buddies. Like when a new game came out, Man,

1606
01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 2: you blow off today. Oh my god. I had a buddy,

1607
01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 2: my teuc Right, so Tuoch I would go over to

1608
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 2: Tucca's house like a new gate, like the new Mad

1609
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 2: and would come out and.

1610
01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 4: I'll never forget like we would be up all night.

1611
01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:22,719
Speaker 2: His wife would be coming down to go to work,

1612
01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:27,840
Speaker 2: right and we're still on the living room floor play

1613
01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:31,519
Speaker 2: the game, and she would just look at she shake

1614
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:32,240
Speaker 2: her head.

1615
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 4: You guys are a holes.

1616
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:39,559
Speaker 3: You know. The great thing is now we're old enough

1617
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:40,960
Speaker 3: to know better, and I still don't care.

1618
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:41,240
Speaker 4: You know.

1619
01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:43,800
Speaker 3: It's just one of those things where like it's such

1620
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:47,439
Speaker 3: a special moment, like the fact that they've turned around

1621
01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:50,120
Speaker 3: and tried to put in so many of the experiences, right,

1622
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:53,320
Speaker 3: the fact that they put in so much of the

1623
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:55,680
Speaker 3: energy from the crowd and moments from the crowd. The

1624
01:24:55,720 --> 01:24:58,840
Speaker 3: only regret that I have in this game already is

1625
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:03,680
Speaker 3: that some bands Cough Metallica, didn't want their songs to

1626
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:06,240
Speaker 3: be House of Pain, didn't want their songs to be included.

1627
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:08,960
Speaker 3: They charged too much to LIKEE kill them. And I

1628
01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:12,360
Speaker 3: look at those moments, I'm like, I get it, I

1629
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 3: get that your art has value. But I would say this,

1630
01:25:15,800 --> 01:25:20,160
Speaker 3: nobody is buying the game specifically to hear Sandman or

1631
01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:23,479
Speaker 3: to hear jump Around. It's just an added bonus to

1632
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:25,720
Speaker 3: the game. These are the moments where sometimes I think

1633
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:28,160
Speaker 3: people get they just take themselves too seriously. You got

1634
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:30,840
Speaker 3: to step back as a musician, and you've got to

1635
01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:32,680
Speaker 3: step back and say, hey, you know what, I just

1636
01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:34,760
Speaker 3: want to be part of this cool, historic moment, so

1637
01:25:35,160 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 3: I will lower my usual astronomical fee and instead instead

1638
01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:41,840
Speaker 3: of giving people something that sounds close to and are

1639
01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:43,599
Speaker 3: sad man, which is what they're gonna do, we're close

1640
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 3: to jump around. It can't randle, you know. So it's

1641
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:49,400
Speaker 3: that's the only downfall with the game so far. But yeah,

1642
01:25:49,439 --> 01:25:52,240
Speaker 3: the opportunity to take the college football love you have

1643
01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:54,360
Speaker 3: and try and take a program that's non traditional and

1644
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:57,000
Speaker 3: get them all the way to the top is absolutely incredible.

1645
01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:00,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome, man, that is And you're spotting on

1646
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:06,880
Speaker 2: talking about being short sighted. Come on, what are you doing, guys?

1647
01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:11,559
Speaker 2: Ridiculous anyway, So they did the thing. The top twenty

1648
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:15,120
Speaker 2: five toughest places to play. So if you missed the

1649
01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:18,040
Speaker 2: end of the last segment, twenty five Mississippi State, twenty four,

1650
01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:24,000
Speaker 2: Boise the Bluefield, twenty three, Arkansas twenty two, Michigan State

1651
01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:28,160
Speaker 2: twenty one, notre Game, which we think is low twenty

1652
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:35,920
Speaker 2: Iowa nineteen, Texas eighteen, Utah seventeen, Virginia Tech sixteen.

1653
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:38,200
Speaker 4: Coming in the low sixteen.

1654
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:47,120
Speaker 2: The big House, Auburn is fourteen and Rocky Top thirteen. Now,

1655
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 2: I love Rocky Top Checkered Field. You know, that was

1656
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:52,960
Speaker 2: a great atmosphere to play.

1657
01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 3: I've been to Rocky Top a bunch of times when

1658
01:26:56,320 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 3: I was living in Nashville, obviously. Yeah, and it's it's

1659
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:08,760
Speaker 3: an incredibly fun, cool environment. It's special, it's beautiful, it's amazing.

1660
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:11,360
Speaker 3: I don't think of it as being the same level

1661
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:13,640
Speaker 3: of intimidation as some of the places we're about to

1662
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:17,320
Speaker 3: get to that it's it's not quite that same vibe

1663
01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:18,600
Speaker 3: to me, But I think that it's one of the

1664
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 3: most special atmospheres. Like I want to be clear here,

1665
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:24,600
Speaker 3: These are all incredible atmospheres we're talking about here. I

1666
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:29,400
Speaker 3: love what Nayland Stadium is. I love you know, the

1667
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 3: walk before, I love everything about the experience on Saturdays.

1668
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 4: There about thrust, the Smoky Mountains.

1669
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 3: Oh god, yeah. I just don't necessarily think of it

1670
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:44,559
Speaker 3: as the same level of intimidation or home field advantage

1671
01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 3: that I think of, for example, from Florida that we

1672
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:48,160
Speaker 3: haven't gotten to yet.

1673
01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, now, I'm I'm with you, man, I feel

1674
01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:59,679
Speaker 2: the same way. Clemson is twelve. Let's you know, touch

1675
01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:02,559
Speaker 2: the Clemson is twelve. What do you think.

1676
01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:05,960
Speaker 3: I have never been to a game at Clemson, so

1677
01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:08,639
Speaker 3: I I in Clemson fans remind me of that often

1678
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:12,080
Speaker 3: I've never actually been there. I've heard amazing things if.

1679
01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:17,240
Speaker 2: I've covered me. Yeah, it's it's awesome. It's yeah, it

1680
01:28:17,320 --> 01:28:22,719
Speaker 2: really is. It's it's a great it's a great experience. Really,

1681
01:28:22,760 --> 01:28:26,720
Speaker 2: it's a great experience. I love it. And it's intimidating,

1682
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:32,000
Speaker 2: and yeah, it's got all that is woud like it's

1683
01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:33,600
Speaker 2: it's it's impressive.

1684
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:37,599
Speaker 3: That's all I've ever heard on it. And it feels low.

1685
01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:39,679
Speaker 3: Twelve feels low for Clemson.

1686
01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:44,880
Speaker 2: I felt the same thing now Oregon got I tell

1687
01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:48,439
Speaker 2: you it's good, but I got it. I think that's

1688
01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:49,400
Speaker 2: a little high.

1689
01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:53,719
Speaker 3: That's way high Oregon at eleven, Yeah, way high. Like again,

1690
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:58,080
Speaker 3: it's a cool atmosphere, but man like it's it's not

1691
01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 3: shaking in your boots. That the fact that that we're

1692
01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:03,920
Speaker 3: talking about Oregon and we're about to talk about a

1693
01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:07,640
Speaker 3: school that has a home home field experience that I

1694
01:29:07,640 --> 01:29:10,320
Speaker 3: don't know I've experienced much like like Oregon is not

1695
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:13,840
Speaker 3: in that same realm. Oregon's a really great college football atmosphere,

1696
01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:17,280
Speaker 3: but it's not. Frankly, I wouldn't have put Oregon above

1697
01:29:17,320 --> 01:29:20,080
Speaker 3: the big House. I wouldn't have put Oregon Virginia Tech.

1698
01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:22,800
Speaker 3: When Virginia Tech it's good. I don't know that I

1699
01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:26,200
Speaker 3: would have put Oregon ahead of notre name. So I

1700
01:29:26,200 --> 01:29:27,760
Speaker 3: think it's it seems high to me.

1701
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 2: I think you're spot on, man, I think you're spot

1702
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:39,760
Speaker 2: on after that coming in top ten, number ten. The

1703
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:41,719
Speaker 2: swap Florida.

1704
01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:44,479
Speaker 3: So let me let me tell you a Florida story.

1705
01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:47,920
Speaker 3: The year I traveled with game Day, I hosted a

1706
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:50,840
Speaker 3: digital show countdown to game Day the first year that

1707
01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:53,519
Speaker 3: it existed, and so we went to every game Day spot.

1708
01:29:53,560 --> 01:29:55,320
Speaker 3: That year was one of the coolest years I've ever

1709
01:29:55,320 --> 01:29:58,679
Speaker 3: had in my life or my career. And I remember

1710
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:00,799
Speaker 3: we were at game Day. He was at the Swamp.

1711
01:30:01,320 --> 01:30:04,360
Speaker 3: It was the worst atmosphere I'd ever been to for

1712
01:30:04,439 --> 01:30:07,280
Speaker 3: Game Day. Nobody came out, nobody cared, and so I

1713
01:30:07,439 --> 01:30:10,960
Speaker 3: really walked into that stadium that that afternoon thinking this

1714
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:12,880
Speaker 3: is going to be lame, right Like, I just didn't

1715
01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:15,799
Speaker 3: think it was gonna be great. I have never felt

1716
01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:20,240
Speaker 3: my feet actually shake from crowd noise when I'm standing

1717
01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:23,519
Speaker 3: on solid ground like that was. I will never forget

1718
01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:26,679
Speaker 3: the vibrations in my feet of listening to the Swamp

1719
01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:29,600
Speaker 3: go crazy. It was actually like it felt like it

1720
01:30:29,640 --> 01:30:32,000
Speaker 3: was making my heart race, like my body was jiggling

1721
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:37,120
Speaker 3: because of it. It was the most insane first ten

1722
01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:39,840
Speaker 3: minutes of a football game I think I've ever experienced.

1723
01:30:39,880 --> 01:30:43,000
Speaker 3: And I remember working at one point with aj Mccaerron

1724
01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:44,839
Speaker 3: and he was talking about when he was the quarterback

1725
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:47,560
Speaker 3: at Alabama and how they're opening drive. They had a

1726
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:50,120
Speaker 3: couple of false starts and they had to go. They

1727
01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:52,080
Speaker 3: burned a time out and he went to the sideline

1728
01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:54,200
Speaker 3: and the coach looked at him at the time, and

1729
01:30:54,320 --> 01:30:55,880
Speaker 3: Saban looked at him at the time and said, if

1730
01:30:55,920 --> 01:30:58,000
Speaker 3: we don't get a touchdown on this drive, we will

1731
01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:00,800
Speaker 3: lose this game. Because of the crowd, that's how loud

1732
01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:03,519
Speaker 3: it is on the field. You literally cannot hear yourself.

1733
01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:05,599
Speaker 3: Think I was standing next to a bunch of people

1734
01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:07,719
Speaker 3: we were trying to talk during the game. You couldn't

1735
01:31:07,720 --> 01:31:10,360
Speaker 3: do it the Swamp. That's why I have a hard

1736
01:31:10,360 --> 01:31:12,639
Speaker 3: time with Oregon being eleven in the Swamp being ten,

1737
01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:15,599
Speaker 3: because there's no way I've been to games at Oregon too.

1738
01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:18,080
Speaker 3: It does not compare to what that environment is like

1739
01:31:18,120 --> 01:31:18,679
Speaker 3: in the swamp.

1740
01:31:19,240 --> 01:31:20,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I'm with you.

1741
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:23,439
Speaker 2: I covered the back of the deck covered of Florida

1742
01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:27,439
Speaker 2: Florida State game and it was like a big game too.

1743
01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:32,160
Speaker 2: I think war done. I'm trying to remember the circumstances

1744
01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:38,759
Speaker 2: it was, but that whole scene with Florida Florida State

1745
01:31:38,960 --> 01:31:42,920
Speaker 2: at the swamp is unbelievable. Man, I just remember now,

1746
01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:47,040
Speaker 2: the pregame, the tailgate, the gator pit, all that stuff.

1747
01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:47,760
Speaker 4: It was.

1748
01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:49,200
Speaker 3: It was awesome.

1749
01:31:49,360 --> 01:31:52,800
Speaker 2: And then you're right about describing what it was like

1750
01:31:54,520 --> 01:31:58,839
Speaker 2: on game day in that building. Man, it was nasty.

1751
01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:01,200
Speaker 4: Now, I you're right, all you're spot on.

1752
01:32:02,880 --> 01:32:08,920
Speaker 2: Coming in number nine speaking of Florida State, Doke Campbell Stadium,

1753
01:32:09,240 --> 01:32:13,719
Speaker 2: Florida State. Talahazzi comes in at number nine.

1754
01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:17,519
Speaker 3: That's way too high. I understand that there was a

1755
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:20,920
Speaker 3: period where Florida State was that, and certainly I got

1756
01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:24,080
Speaker 3: to give Norvell a lot of credit for what he's recreated.

1757
01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:27,679
Speaker 3: But I keep thinking about, over the course of even

1758
01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:31,519
Speaker 3: the rerise of novels, the first couple of years when

1759
01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:34,519
Speaker 3: everybody thought he might get fired. My buddy, that's a

1760
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:37,439
Speaker 3: booster at Florida State was sending me pictures of a

1761
01:32:37,479 --> 01:32:40,360
Speaker 3: stadium that was half empty, and last year when it

1762
01:32:40,520 --> 01:32:43,200
Speaker 3: was finally back to like yes, he was sending me

1763
01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:44,240
Speaker 3: pictures saying we're back.

1764
01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:44,719
Speaker 4: Baby.

1765
01:32:44,960 --> 01:32:48,639
Speaker 3: You can't be the ninth best or the ninth most

1766
01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:53,120
Speaker 3: toughest place to play if you're just barely back to me,

1767
01:32:53,320 --> 01:32:56,439
Speaker 3: like it wasn't tough to play when your team stunk. Man,

1768
01:32:56,560 --> 01:32:58,320
Speaker 3: I think that's way too high for Florida State?

1769
01:32:59,200 --> 01:33:05,280
Speaker 2: Now is it high because of the chant like it

1770
01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:10,599
Speaker 2: was like is it still? Are they just going from

1771
01:33:10,720 --> 01:33:17,160
Speaker 2: a picture of nineteen ninety pick the year six, seven, eight, whatever,

1772
01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:24,360
Speaker 2: and you're here and the shit right and you know

1773
01:33:24,479 --> 01:33:30,840
Speaker 2: that whole like it was menacing during those moments. But

1774
01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:33,920
Speaker 2: to your point, and it's top bid that way for

1775
01:33:33,960 --> 01:33:36,920
Speaker 2: a long time. And if you're gonna have Blacksburg all

1776
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:40,639
Speaker 2: the way down in Virginia Tech alway that low, then

1777
01:33:40,720 --> 01:33:42,559
Speaker 2: can you have Florida State that high?

1778
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:46,120
Speaker 3: I mean to me, if you just take everything else

1779
01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:48,240
Speaker 3: away and you say this year, let's say this year

1780
01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:51,160
Speaker 3: we get to the college Football Playoff. They expanded college

1781
01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:53,880
Speaker 3: football Playoff and I always got to go on the road,

1782
01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:56,000
Speaker 3: or we'll use the team of the competent offense comeing

1783
01:33:56,040 --> 01:33:58,240
Speaker 3: into this year, We'll say Michigan has to go on

1784
01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:00,519
Speaker 3: the road, Right, Michigan's going on the road. If they're

1785
01:34:00,560 --> 01:34:03,679
Speaker 3: going to Florida, take on the swamp the whole week,

1786
01:34:03,800 --> 01:34:05,880
Speaker 3: it's gonna be. Man, they got to go to Florida

1787
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:08,120
Speaker 3: to the swamp and they got to win. Are we

1788
01:34:08,160 --> 01:34:09,720
Speaker 3: gonna say the same thing about well, they got to

1789
01:34:09,760 --> 01:34:12,720
Speaker 3: go to Florida State. Like, it's just to me that

1790
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 3: they flip flop where Florida State is and where the

1791
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:18,479
Speaker 3: Big House is, Because if Florida State was traveling to Michigan,

1792
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:20,479
Speaker 3: people be like, oh my god, got to go into

1793
01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:23,880
Speaker 3: the Big House and when that football game. This is

1794
01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:26,479
Speaker 3: a legacy ranking to me to have Florida State at

1795
01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:27,000
Speaker 3: number nine.

1796
01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:35,800
Speaker 2: So number eight, gay lord oak Glahhoma. Let's go to

1797
01:34:36,120 --> 01:34:41,000
Speaker 2: Norman at number eight. Very very cool place to play,

1798
01:34:43,200 --> 01:34:48,360
Speaker 2: great atmosphere. I think it's a I think it's slightly high.

1799
01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:51,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's one of those because I agree

1800
01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:54,400
Speaker 3: with you. It feels about right. I wouldn't be offended

1801
01:34:54,439 --> 01:34:56,880
Speaker 3: if it was ten, but like, it feels about right,

1802
01:34:56,920 --> 01:34:59,920
Speaker 3: and you're right, it is a great atmosphere to play. Yeah,

1803
01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:04,840
Speaker 3: for sure. It's it's a very cool spot. I don't

1804
01:35:05,240 --> 01:35:07,559
Speaker 3: sit in fear if I'm a fan of another team, thinking,

1805
01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:09,880
Speaker 3: but you gotta go to Oklahoma the same way I

1806
01:35:09,960 --> 01:35:11,360
Speaker 3: do it for some of the best of the best.

1807
01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:14,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, ye, accurate, accurate.

1808
01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:26,559
Speaker 2: I uh coming in at number seven, Camp Randall, Wisconsin, Ah, dude,

1809
01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:31,200
Speaker 2: Camp Randall, good, good spot.

1810
01:35:31,640 --> 01:35:35,040
Speaker 4: But I mean that's way high.

1811
01:35:35,080 --> 01:35:39,400
Speaker 3: It's also the list doesn't say coolest college football traditions.

1812
01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:41,360
Speaker 3: And that's where I think this is. Like, we all

1813
01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:44,320
Speaker 3: love jump around, and so we love what that looks like.

1814
01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:48,559
Speaker 3: And certainly Wisconsin, I've had some of the best party

1815
01:35:48,640 --> 01:35:53,360
Speaker 3: days of my life on that campus. That campus, like

1816
01:35:53,960 --> 01:35:57,679
Speaker 3: it's a beautiful place to play, Like, I love that area.

1817
01:35:57,800 --> 01:36:00,360
Speaker 3: I'm all in on it. I just don't think it

1818
01:36:00,400 --> 01:36:03,639
Speaker 3: belongs anywhere near this portion of this list. You can't

1819
01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:07,439
Speaker 3: tell me that. You can't tell me that Florida would

1820
01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:11,040
Speaker 3: struggle more to play a normal weather game in Wisconsin

1821
01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:13,920
Speaker 3: then Wisconsin would struggle to play in the swamp. I

1822
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:17,519
Speaker 3: just I refuse to believe that. I think Wisconsin in

1823
01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:18,520
Speaker 3: the teens.

1824
01:36:18,880 --> 01:36:23,120
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, number six.

1825
01:36:25,160 --> 01:36:28,400
Speaker 2: I mean I think it's definitely a top five, top

1826
01:36:28,600 --> 01:36:37,040
Speaker 2: six place is Beaver Stadium, Penn's State. The white out.

1827
01:36:37,840 --> 01:36:43,120
Speaker 2: It's a nasty place to play. When they're good, they're nasty.

1828
01:36:43,320 --> 01:36:46,040
Speaker 2: That's it's one hundred and ten thousand strong.

1829
01:36:46,760 --> 01:36:49,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, when it's if it's just a regular game at

1830
01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:53,360
Speaker 3: Penn State, six feels right. If it's a white out game, Oh,

1831
01:36:53,439 --> 01:36:55,479
Speaker 3: you're going to struggle to find six places that are

1832
01:36:55,560 --> 01:36:56,479
Speaker 3: tougher to play than that.

1833
01:36:56,600 --> 01:36:57,280
Speaker 4: Like, I agree.

1834
01:36:57,800 --> 01:37:00,360
Speaker 3: I went to the white out game and it was just,

1835
01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:03,720
Speaker 3: oh god it it hits different like the white out

1836
01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:06,400
Speaker 3: to me would probably be number three. So like, but

1837
01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:07,799
Speaker 3: number six feels right overall.

1838
01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:14,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, six for a noon start and you know, three

1839
01:37:14,880 --> 01:37:17,560
Speaker 2: for the white out other than the lights.

1840
01:37:18,439 --> 01:37:21,360
Speaker 4: Yes, right, So with you here.

1841
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:29,800
Speaker 2: Number five Santanford Stadium, Mathins, Georgia.

1842
01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:31,680
Speaker 3: Feels right right. I mean number five feels about right

1843
01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:35,439
Speaker 3: for George. Yeah, it's just it's an intimidating place to play,

1844
01:37:35,479 --> 01:37:37,840
Speaker 3: and then it's intimidating team to play. Four in that

1845
01:37:37,880 --> 01:37:39,720
Speaker 3: crowd right now is as fired up as any in

1846
01:37:39,760 --> 01:37:42,880
Speaker 3: college football. So like we're looking at right now, I think, yeah,

1847
01:37:42,920 --> 01:37:44,960
Speaker 3: it's definitely one of the toughest places to play. So

1848
01:37:45,040 --> 01:37:45,960
Speaker 3: five feels about right.

1849
01:37:46,840 --> 01:37:48,280
Speaker 4: Number four. I'll tell you what.

1850
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:54,200
Speaker 2: We'll save the next four, right, and we'll do the

1851
01:37:54,240 --> 01:37:58,839
Speaker 2: top four coming up is the best Man top already

1852
01:37:58,920 --> 01:38:05,120
Speaker 2: get like geeked up, salivating over it, talking about, you know,

1853
01:38:05,520 --> 01:38:11,320
Speaker 2: going to these historic places. No, I'm in Oklahoma, Like

1854
01:38:11,360 --> 01:38:18,680
Speaker 2: there's nothing like it, right, Blacksburg. Fantastic fellas hanging on

1855
01:38:18,840 --> 01:38:25,439
Speaker 2: a late June Saturday, Eyes to the Fall, Fox Sports Radio,

1856
01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:38,080
Speaker 2: Welcome Back Fellas from the tai iraq dot com studios.

1857
01:38:40,400 --> 01:38:44,360
Speaker 2: Jason Fitz Anthony Argana, Are you a big Fourth of

1858
01:38:44,439 --> 01:38:46,000
Speaker 2: July guy?

1859
01:38:48,160 --> 01:38:51,280
Speaker 3: So you know, not really. I think most of.

1860
01:38:51,200 --> 01:38:57,320
Speaker 2: Them, like I I spent most of the cues, now

1861
01:38:57,360 --> 01:38:57,760
Speaker 2: you know that.

1862
01:38:58,240 --> 01:39:03,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, for most of my adult life, I was touring

1863
01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:05,920
Speaker 3: during the In the music business, you're working all summer

1864
01:39:06,120 --> 01:39:08,080
Speaker 3: and you always take a Fourth of July kick, so

1865
01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:10,720
Speaker 3: you know there's a good money. So I feel like

1866
01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:12,600
Speaker 3: I always worked on the fourth. And then after I

1867
01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:14,720
Speaker 3: got to ESPN, I was the sideline reporter for the

1868
01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:17,519
Speaker 3: Hot Dog Eating Contest for several years, so I was

1869
01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:20,200
Speaker 3: always working on the Fourth of July there too, So

1870
01:39:20,640 --> 01:39:23,639
Speaker 3: I haven't really I've always had to work the fourth,

1871
01:39:23,720 --> 01:39:25,080
Speaker 3: So I don't think I really have a lot of

1872
01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:27,680
Speaker 3: tradition that seeps in on the fourth There isn't like

1873
01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:29,760
Speaker 3: this big ooh, oh my god, I need to do

1874
01:39:29,800 --> 01:39:33,320
Speaker 3: this on the fourth of July thing. Well what about you?

1875
01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:38,400
Speaker 2: No, normally No, i'man usually you know, I like to

1876
01:39:38,439 --> 01:39:41,080
Speaker 2: travel over the fourth July cause you get to you know,

1877
01:39:41,320 --> 01:39:44,919
Speaker 2: the holiday, and so it's a good time to travel

1878
01:39:45,680 --> 01:39:49,640
Speaker 2: because like in my neck of the woods in the

1879
01:39:49,640 --> 01:39:54,439
Speaker 2: Philadelphia area, a lot of people have homes at the shore,

1880
01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:58,160
Speaker 2: at the beach, and if you don't have a home

1881
01:39:58,160 --> 01:40:03,519
Speaker 2: at the beach, it's really not fun because it's blazing hot,

1882
01:40:04,439 --> 01:40:07,040
Speaker 2: and you know who wants to be for forever I

1883
01:40:07,080 --> 01:40:09,720
Speaker 2: lived in the city and now I'm in the suburbs.

1884
01:40:09,800 --> 01:40:13,679
Speaker 2: Like it's you know, it's it's not fun, right unless you're,

1885
01:40:13,840 --> 01:40:16,240
Speaker 2: know I at the beach or whatever. So I usually

1886
01:40:16,280 --> 01:40:18,679
Speaker 2: like to travel, So I'm not one that's the big

1887
01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:23,400
Speaker 2: I'm not a big cookout guy to begin with. So no,

1888
01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:26,439
Speaker 2: to be answered, it's your question to me. This is

1889
01:40:26,880 --> 01:40:29,240
Speaker 2: the whole world shuts down. Like I got like a

1890
01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:32,639
Speaker 2: bunch of projects. I'm trying to hustle and get through

1891
01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:35,479
Speaker 2: and all stuff, and you know, and like you good

1892
01:40:35,560 --> 01:40:37,720
Speaker 2: luck getting anybody's attention.

1893
01:40:37,479 --> 01:40:39,800
Speaker 4: In August, I mean in July and August. It's just

1894
01:40:39,840 --> 01:40:40,360
Speaker 4: like dead.

1895
01:40:41,200 --> 01:40:45,599
Speaker 3: It's interesting too, because as you just mentioned, cookouts and everything, like, look,

1896
01:40:46,680 --> 01:40:49,600
Speaker 3: people love fireworks. Fireworks are fine. I watch fireworks. I'

1897
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:51,640
Speaker 3: ms go, that was cool, but I don't have to.

1898
01:40:51,640 --> 01:40:53,040
Speaker 3: It's big great, Oh my god, we have to go

1899
01:40:53,080 --> 01:40:55,599
Speaker 3: watch it. And as you know we've talked about over

1900
01:40:55,640 --> 01:40:56,920
Speaker 3: the course of the last couple of months, I'm on

1901
01:40:56,960 --> 01:40:59,160
Speaker 3: the super restrictive diet plan right now, like trying to

1902
01:40:59,160 --> 01:41:02,120
Speaker 3: get my apps to have ABS. So I'm only eating

1903
01:41:02,160 --> 01:41:04,559
Speaker 3: exactly what I'm told to eat when I eat, and

1904
01:41:04,640 --> 01:41:08,080
Speaker 3: I'm only drinking water. And now I've finally got to

1905
01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:10,719
Speaker 3: the point where I can add an unsweetened iced tea

1906
01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:13,240
Speaker 3: or a black iced coffee every day I can add

1907
01:41:13,240 --> 01:41:15,879
Speaker 3: one of those. So like, what what am I supposed

1908
01:41:15,880 --> 01:41:17,559
Speaker 3: to do on the fourth Like that, that's a real

1909
01:41:17,840 --> 01:41:20,400
Speaker 3: I realized this when I was flying back from Jacksonville.

1910
01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:23,160
Speaker 3: I got stranded in the airport because of some flight

1911
01:41:23,200 --> 01:41:26,320
Speaker 3: issues on my return and I was sitting there saying, Okay, well,

1912
01:41:26,320 --> 01:41:28,240
Speaker 3: what do you do when you're stuck in an airport

1913
01:41:28,280 --> 01:41:30,920
Speaker 3: and you can't or drink, Like, what do you do

1914
01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:33,920
Speaker 3: on the fourth of July. If it's like, all right, well,

1915
01:41:34,400 --> 01:41:36,720
Speaker 3: you know, I'm I'm gonna go to the gym and

1916
01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:39,760
Speaker 3: then I'm just gonna sort of I mean, I'll go

1917
01:41:39,760 --> 01:41:42,360
Speaker 3: and hang out with some some buddies. But like even

1918
01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:44,560
Speaker 3: hanging out I have I have learned to accept in

1919
01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:46,919
Speaker 3: the last few months. When I hang out, I'm usually

1920
01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:49,599
Speaker 3: the mostly sober like because I'm not drinking, so I'm

1921
01:41:49,600 --> 01:41:51,559
Speaker 3: the sober guy with everybody else.

1922
01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:54,360
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question on your diet. Can

1923
01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:56,800
Speaker 2: you do like, uh, are you a vodka guy or

1924
01:41:56,800 --> 01:41:57,400
Speaker 2: a gym guy?

1925
01:41:58,160 --> 01:42:01,640
Speaker 3: Now, I usually there's usually my okay, I.

1926
01:42:01,800 --> 01:42:03,800
Speaker 4: Like gin, right, so you're your vokra gin.

1927
01:42:04,479 --> 01:42:10,720
Speaker 2: So could you do vodka and like diet tonic with

1928
01:42:10,880 --> 01:42:13,760
Speaker 2: like like no.

1929
01:42:13,960 --> 01:42:16,840
Speaker 3: I hired him in May. I hired my trainer guy

1930
01:42:16,880 --> 01:42:18,439
Speaker 3: in May, and he put all this in the app

1931
01:42:18,479 --> 01:42:20,920
Speaker 3: for me. Rule number one, no alcohol for six months.

1932
01:42:21,120 --> 01:42:24,400
Speaker 3: Rule number two, no diet anything, so like I can't

1933
01:42:24,400 --> 01:42:26,000
Speaker 3: have so all the people are like, oh, I have

1934
01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:28,840
Speaker 3: a diet coke. Well, I love diet soda and diet

1935
01:42:28,960 --> 01:42:31,760
Speaker 3: energy drinks. But even those little squirt like when people

1936
01:42:31,800 --> 01:42:33,400
Speaker 3: are like, well, just put a little flavoring in your

1937
01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:35,880
Speaker 3: water that has this. Most of those have the same

1938
01:42:36,240 --> 01:42:40,360
Speaker 3: chemicals that diet soda has. So my option is like

1939
01:42:40,479 --> 01:42:44,120
Speaker 3: water or plain unsweetened soda water, so you can get

1940
01:42:44,160 --> 01:42:46,679
Speaker 3: like a you know, a lemon soda water that uses

1941
01:42:46,720 --> 01:42:49,880
Speaker 3: the natural flavors or whatever. But nothing, no superlos, no

1942
01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:54,280
Speaker 3: artificial sweeteners, no alcohol, no any know, anything other than

1943
01:42:54,479 --> 01:42:56,680
Speaker 3: straighten you know, yeah, yeah.

1944
01:42:56,439 --> 01:42:57,760
Speaker 4: How come you? How come me out?

1945
01:42:57,800 --> 01:43:00,479
Speaker 2: Because you because the calories they're a low one calories

1946
01:43:00,560 --> 01:43:05,320
Speaker 2: is just the uh you know, you just don't not

1947
01:43:06,080 --> 01:43:07,400
Speaker 2: just to compound in your body.

1948
01:43:07,439 --> 01:43:08,680
Speaker 4: Is that what he wants you to stay away from?

1949
01:43:08,920 --> 01:43:12,679
Speaker 3: It basically throttles down your metabolism so your metabolism doesn't

1950
01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:16,280
Speaker 3: burn everything else as efficiently because it's been tricked by

1951
01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:18,800
Speaker 3: having to burn the alcohol. So you know, yes, for

1952
01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:21,840
Speaker 3: everybody that's like, oh my god, moderation, moderation is where

1953
01:43:21,880 --> 01:43:24,160
Speaker 3: I will eventually get to. But I think what we

1954
01:43:24,320 --> 01:43:26,280
Speaker 3: what we all forget when you go through any of

1955
01:43:26,320 --> 01:43:30,320
Speaker 3: these processes, is that, like, to get to moderation, sometimes

1956
01:43:30,320 --> 01:43:32,800
Speaker 3: you have to sacrifice as much as you indulged. Right,

1957
01:43:32,840 --> 01:43:34,720
Speaker 3: So if I spent not that I've ever been a

1958
01:43:34,720 --> 01:43:37,040
Speaker 3: big guy, but if I've spent the last, you know,

1959
01:43:37,160 --> 01:43:40,200
Speaker 3: several months eating cake and NonStop. I don't then just

1960
01:43:40,240 --> 01:43:42,000
Speaker 3: go to moderation and get the results I want. I

1961
01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:44,160
Speaker 3: have to go. You know, the pendulum has to swing

1962
01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:44,559
Speaker 3: both ways.

1963
01:43:46,240 --> 01:43:49,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I listen, I admire you. I you know,

1964
01:43:49,520 --> 01:43:51,400
Speaker 2: it's funny. I'm just thinking the same thing. I'm like,

1965
01:43:52,280 --> 01:43:56,439
Speaker 2: when am I going to ask FITZI for his guy

1966
01:43:56,800 --> 01:43:57,800
Speaker 2: to do this?

1967
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:01,160
Speaker 4: Uh?

1968
01:44:02,479 --> 01:44:06,280
Speaker 2: I like, so, well, how will you have to do

1969
01:44:06,320 --> 01:44:07,759
Speaker 2: this for six months?

1970
01:44:08,160 --> 01:44:10,920
Speaker 3: Well, so my goal was to have like, you know,

1971
01:44:11,040 --> 01:44:13,679
Speaker 3: abs on abs on ABS, and I've never accomplished actually

1972
01:44:13,760 --> 01:44:16,880
Speaker 3: having like I'm I've got abs like that guy, And

1973
01:44:16,920 --> 01:44:18,760
Speaker 3: so that was the goal. So he said, yeah, I

1974
01:44:18,760 --> 01:44:21,000
Speaker 3: give him about six months and I should get to

1975
01:44:21,200 --> 01:44:23,920
Speaker 3: two abs. And then he said, if I gave him

1976
01:44:23,960 --> 01:44:26,559
Speaker 3: six months diligent and did all of my dude like,

1977
01:44:26,640 --> 01:44:29,080
Speaker 3: did it the right way, by the end of six months,

1978
01:44:29,120 --> 01:44:31,200
Speaker 3: I should be where I want ish, you know, And

1979
01:44:31,280 --> 01:44:34,080
Speaker 3: then from then on I should be in a situation

1980
01:44:34,200 --> 01:44:37,639
Speaker 3: where as long as I'm eating right five six eighty

1981
01:44:37,680 --> 01:44:39,680
Speaker 3: twenty principle, as long as I'm eating right five six

1982
01:44:39,720 --> 01:44:41,360
Speaker 3: days a week, I can have cake one day a week,

1983
01:44:41,400 --> 01:44:43,400
Speaker 3: every every week and it won't matter I just got

1984
01:44:43,400 --> 01:44:45,680
Speaker 3: to get to that point first, so you know, just

1985
01:44:45,720 --> 01:44:46,479
Speaker 3: trying to trying to.

1986
01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:49,120
Speaker 4: No, dude, I listen, I I want out my.

1987
01:44:49,040 --> 01:44:52,479
Speaker 3: Body fat down to like single digits is the real dream.

1988
01:44:52,520 --> 01:44:54,880
Speaker 3: I'll never get there, but maybe like twelve thirteen percent.

1989
01:44:54,920 --> 01:44:56,760
Speaker 3: If I get down to twelve thirteen percent, I'm gonna

1990
01:44:56,760 --> 01:44:57,599
Speaker 3: feel real good about it.

1991
01:44:57,760 --> 01:44:59,000
Speaker 4: Ah, May God blessed. Dude.

1992
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:03,440
Speaker 2: That's fantasm. I give you a ton of credit. It's

1993
01:45:03,479 --> 01:45:06,840
Speaker 2: it's so difficult, man. I you know, I'm trying in

1994
01:45:06,880 --> 01:45:11,000
Speaker 2: my own way, not as with with especially with kids,

1995
01:45:11,040 --> 01:45:15,280
Speaker 2: and now we eat it's like you got kids, and

1996
01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:18,200
Speaker 2: you know it's pizza twice a week and whatever else

1997
01:45:18,280 --> 01:45:19,760
Speaker 2: Chick fil a and you know.

1998
01:45:20,560 --> 01:45:22,400
Speaker 3: Well, and I'm the first to admit, dude, it's a

1999
01:45:22,439 --> 01:45:25,479
Speaker 3: luxury that I work a schedule that allows me one

2000
01:45:25,560 --> 01:45:27,759
Speaker 3: day a week to spend five six hours food prepping

2001
01:45:27,800 --> 01:45:29,800
Speaker 3: for the week, you know. And then I'm the type

2002
01:45:29,800 --> 01:45:32,479
Speaker 3: of personality that doesn't mind, you know, just throwing the

2003
01:45:32,479 --> 01:45:34,400
Speaker 3: same food on and eating the same things every day.

2004
01:45:34,400 --> 01:45:35,880
Speaker 3: A lot of people can never do that. So I

2005
01:45:35,880 --> 01:45:37,439
Speaker 3: don't think, no, you.

2006
01:45:37,439 --> 01:45:41,439
Speaker 2: Have to be really rigid. No's that's an incredible thing. Now,

2007
01:45:41,600 --> 01:45:45,760
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about and go, huh, like, I like, I

2008
01:45:45,880 --> 01:45:48,640
Speaker 2: like the holidays too much to do it over the holidays.

2009
01:45:49,880 --> 01:45:52,800
Speaker 4: So I'm thinking, well, do you just do you.

2010
01:45:52,760 --> 01:45:58,600
Speaker 2: Know, do your role January just go you know, go spartan,

2011
01:45:58,720 --> 01:46:01,120
Speaker 2: because you gotta go spart its point, you gotta go smart,

2012
01:46:01,720 --> 01:46:03,360
Speaker 2: and that's your doing when you put the good time

2013
01:46:03,400 --> 01:46:05,120
Speaker 2: and summertime, it's a good time to go smart. And

2014
01:46:05,200 --> 01:46:09,720
Speaker 2: because you do, you are outdoors, you're doing things, and

2015
01:46:09,760 --> 01:46:13,040
Speaker 2: you're not necessarily mine's not on fruit. It's the drinking

2016
01:46:13,160 --> 01:46:18,040
Speaker 2: thing that is. I like my alcohol, not a lot,

2017
01:46:18,160 --> 01:46:20,240
Speaker 2: but you know, in moderation, but I like it. I

2018
01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:23,600
Speaker 2: like my gen and tonics, my happy hours and you

2019
01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:25,720
Speaker 2: know whatever a couple could years.

2020
01:46:25,840 --> 01:46:27,640
Speaker 3: You know, the right time to do it is like

2021
01:46:27,760 --> 01:46:30,519
Speaker 3: February March, Like that's the right time. I just I

2022
01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:33,519
Speaker 3: missed that time. So then it was okay, do I

2023
01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:35,760
Speaker 3: wait all the way until next February? Do I just

2024
01:46:35,800 --> 01:46:38,240
Speaker 3: start it in the summer instead? And for you know,

2025
01:46:38,280 --> 01:46:40,719
Speaker 3: you and I share this also, like I would rather.

2026
01:46:41,040 --> 01:46:42,920
Speaker 3: I'm hoping that by being that, maybe I'll get a

2027
01:46:42,960 --> 01:46:44,680
Speaker 3: little ahead of schedule and maybe by the time we

2028
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:46,639
Speaker 3: hit fall. It's like, yeah, man, you can let loose

2029
01:46:46,640 --> 01:46:49,120
Speaker 3: a little bit on Sundays, so well, I'm watching the Raiders.

2030
01:46:49,120 --> 01:46:51,519
Speaker 3: You know I can do that. That's, you know, a

2031
01:46:51,520 --> 01:46:53,599
Speaker 3: big part of why I decided to start it now.

2032
01:46:53,640 --> 01:46:57,400
Speaker 3: But certainly, you know, I'm also it for summer. It doesn't,

2033
01:46:57,600 --> 01:46:59,639
Speaker 3: like I said, so much of my life, I worked

2034
01:46:59,640 --> 01:47:02,360
Speaker 3: so hard in the summer. I don't associate summer the

2035
01:47:02,400 --> 01:47:05,400
Speaker 3: same way a lot of people do. So it's not

2036
01:47:05,520 --> 01:47:08,360
Speaker 3: that big a deal. It is weird socializing. That is

2037
01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:10,759
Speaker 3: the one thing I've I've definitely learned is that summer's

2038
01:47:10,800 --> 01:47:13,120
Speaker 3: the time when everybody, like every night of the week,

2039
01:47:13,200 --> 01:47:14,960
Speaker 3: somebody's texting you. It's like, hey, let's go grab a

2040
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:16,960
Speaker 3: drink somewhere. And I was like, yeah, I'll sit with

2041
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:19,200
Speaker 3: you while you drink. That's uh, you know, we'll catch

2042
01:47:19,240 --> 01:47:21,840
Speaker 3: up and I'll just have an unsweetened tea at the bar.

2043
01:47:22,520 --> 01:47:26,200
Speaker 2: Oh god, oh man, that's great. God bless you, buddy.

2044
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:32,080
Speaker 2: Let's get to the top four of the toughest places

2045
01:47:32,120 --> 01:47:32,679
Speaker 2: to play.

2046
01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:36,240
Speaker 4: This is EA College Football twenty five.

2047
01:47:37,040 --> 01:47:42,640
Speaker 2: So number four is the shoe, the horseshoe going to

2048
01:47:42,840 --> 01:47:49,720
Speaker 2: Ohio State Columbus number four. I'm with you, listen, it's

2049
01:47:49,720 --> 01:47:55,320
Speaker 2: a nasty place. It's great, it's a great atmosphere. I

2050
01:47:55,360 --> 01:48:00,040
Speaker 2: will tell you that ped State under the lights greater than.

2051
01:48:01,720 --> 01:48:02,560
Speaker 4: The shoe.

2052
01:48:03,840 --> 01:48:08,840
Speaker 2: White, greater than Shoe now, shoe better at noon than

2053
01:48:08,880 --> 01:48:11,120
Speaker 2: Beaver Stadium.

2054
01:48:11,240 --> 01:48:13,280
Speaker 3: I think you're right. I think that. Like so, if

2055
01:48:13,280 --> 01:48:15,840
Speaker 3: we're looking at the whole of all of this, then

2056
01:48:15,880 --> 01:48:19,120
Speaker 3: putting them at four feels right. But if we're just

2057
01:48:19,120 --> 01:48:21,880
Speaker 3: talking about the white out, the white out certainly goes

2058
01:48:21,920 --> 01:48:25,280
Speaker 3: ahead of it. Also, EA is telling you they think

2059
01:48:25,280 --> 01:48:28,479
Speaker 3: that Ohio State's home field advantage is far more sizable

2060
01:48:28,520 --> 01:48:31,080
Speaker 3: than Michigan's home field advantage. And I just I keep

2061
01:48:31,120 --> 01:48:33,040
Speaker 3: going back to that because I find that to be shocking,

2062
01:48:33,160 --> 01:48:36,800
Speaker 3: so shocking to think that EA has now told you

2063
01:48:36,960 --> 01:48:40,960
Speaker 3: very clearly that Ohio State is the the daunting Oh

2064
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:43,599
Speaker 3: my god, and then after that Penn State's a little

2065
01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:47,280
Speaker 3: under it, and then Wisconsin's more daunting than the big House.

2066
01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:49,280
Speaker 4: I got, Yeah, that's crazy.

2067
01:48:48,920 --> 01:48:51,160
Speaker 3: I'm ranking all of that doesn't make a lot of

2068
01:48:51,200 --> 01:48:51,640
Speaker 3: sense to me.

2069
01:48:52,240 --> 01:48:55,880
Speaker 2: No, I agree, number three would be my number one,

2070
01:48:57,040 --> 01:49:05,760
Speaker 2: coming in at number three. Tom Rouge Death Valley Lsu.

2071
01:49:06,360 --> 01:49:09,200
Speaker 2: I always thought that that was just.

2072
01:49:09,280 --> 01:49:09,800
Speaker 4: Going to.

2073
01:49:11,640 --> 01:49:16,080
Speaker 2: A true hellish spot on Earth on a Saturday night

2074
01:49:16,240 --> 01:49:17,000
Speaker 2: under the lights.

2075
01:49:17,439 --> 01:49:21,559
Speaker 4: You give me baton rouge under the lights. That's timid dating.

2076
01:49:22,479 --> 01:49:26,519
Speaker 3: I've never seen anything like it. I just I still

2077
01:49:27,160 --> 01:49:31,280
Speaker 3: think about being at LSU and watching a game there

2078
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:35,080
Speaker 3: as an experience that I've never had in any other sport,

2079
01:49:35,160 --> 01:49:39,000
Speaker 3: in any other environment. We played. They do a country

2080
01:49:39,080 --> 01:49:41,160
Speaker 3: music festival there that we played long before. Was in

2081
01:49:41,160 --> 01:49:44,200
Speaker 3: college football covering it and we played with the band.

2082
01:49:44,240 --> 01:49:47,479
Speaker 3: It was us and Luke Bryan and headlining. This huge

2083
01:49:47,720 --> 01:49:50,920
Speaker 3: football stadium was full, and I remember at one point

2084
01:49:51,320 --> 01:49:54,599
Speaker 3: they thought my keyboard that I had on my riser

2085
01:49:54,640 --> 01:49:56,360
Speaker 3: that I was standing on I was playing the fiddle,

2086
01:49:56,520 --> 01:49:58,960
Speaker 3: had a keyboard sitting there and the keyboard was shaking

2087
01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:01,400
Speaker 3: so hard from the crowd jumping up and down that

2088
01:50:01,479 --> 01:50:04,240
Speaker 3: they thought it was gonna fall off the riser. That's

2089
01:50:04,280 --> 01:50:07,200
Speaker 3: how That's how loud it gets in there. Like I

2090
01:50:07,200 --> 01:50:10,080
Speaker 3: I've never as a as a musician, I don't know

2091
01:50:10,120 --> 01:50:12,559
Speaker 3: that I ever experienced a festival that was more wild

2092
01:50:12,600 --> 01:50:15,599
Speaker 3: than the one that was inside that stadium. And traveling

2093
01:50:15,680 --> 01:50:18,599
Speaker 3: with game day when I did, I never I mean

2094
01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:22,160
Speaker 3: it was LSU Bama. I realized how much that game meant,

2095
01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:25,720
Speaker 3: But I just walked like it was so emotional that

2096
01:50:25,880 --> 01:50:28,800
Speaker 3: my hair never stopped standing up on end like it

2097
01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:32,280
Speaker 3: just the vibe on that floor. It LSU would have

2098
01:50:32,280 --> 01:50:34,160
Speaker 3: been my number one, And frankly, I don't even think

2099
01:50:34,160 --> 01:50:34,639
Speaker 3: it's close.

2100
01:50:35,680 --> 01:50:37,800
Speaker 4: It's funny and I agree, man, we both said it.

2101
01:50:37,840 --> 01:50:38,920
Speaker 4: But our number one, I.

2102
01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:44,880
Speaker 2: Man, it's it's special, man, batarm Rouge is a special,

2103
01:50:45,040 --> 01:50:45,880
Speaker 2: special place.

2104
01:50:46,400 --> 01:50:47,000
Speaker 4: Number ten.

2105
01:50:47,120 --> 01:50:51,200
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't argue with Alabama, as you know

2106
01:50:51,400 --> 01:50:55,640
Speaker 2: in the top five, Bright Denny, it's you know, it's classic,

2107
01:50:56,520 --> 01:51:02,720
Speaker 2: it's you know, loud, the it's it's you know, into it,

2108
01:51:02,720 --> 01:51:06,599
Speaker 2: it's you know, iconic. So it's got it checks all

2109
01:51:06,640 --> 01:51:07,360
Speaker 2: those boxes.

2110
01:51:07,920 --> 01:51:10,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had no problem with that. That one made sense.

2111
01:51:10,479 --> 01:51:12,120
Speaker 3: I read it there Again, I would have put LSU

2112
01:51:12,160 --> 01:51:14,080
Speaker 3: ahead of it, but I understand why they had it.

2113
01:51:14,120 --> 01:51:16,439
Speaker 3: Were well, that just felt like the right spot for it,

2114
01:51:16,479 --> 01:51:16,880
Speaker 3: for sure.

2115
01:51:18,479 --> 01:51:24,320
Speaker 2: And listen, you know the twelfth Man and it's definitely

2116
01:51:24,360 --> 01:51:26,720
Speaker 2: loud and it's a cool place to play.

2117
01:51:27,920 --> 01:51:28,600
Speaker 4: I don't know, it's not.

2118
01:51:28,640 --> 01:51:31,439
Speaker 2: I don't think it's number one, but it's it's a

2119
01:51:31,479 --> 01:51:35,360
Speaker 2: great you know, it's gotta it's it's built out a

2120
01:51:35,400 --> 01:51:39,960
Speaker 2: great niche in a lot of ways, Kyle Field, Texas,

2121
01:51:40,040 --> 01:51:40,519
Speaker 2: A and M.

2122
01:51:42,640 --> 01:51:47,240
Speaker 3: My initial reaction when they posted on Twitter x top

2123
01:51:47,360 --> 01:51:51,360
Speaker 3: ten toughest places to play. My first reaction when I

2124
01:51:51,400 --> 01:51:55,080
Speaker 3: read it, honestly was did the person that made the

2125
01:51:55,120 --> 01:51:58,040
Speaker 3: graphics screw up and accidentally mean to go ten to one?

2126
01:51:58,439 --> 01:52:00,519
Speaker 3: Like I wouldn't have been surprised if ex A and

2127
01:52:00,640 --> 01:52:03,720
Speaker 3: M had been ten to put A and M at

2128
01:52:03,800 --> 01:52:07,200
Speaker 3: number one ahead of LSU. Just it didn't make a

2129
01:52:07,200 --> 01:52:10,120
Speaker 3: lot of sense to me. It's not saying it's not

2130
01:52:10,160 --> 01:52:13,400
Speaker 3: a great atmosphere. It is a great atmosphere. Absolutely, it

2131
01:52:13,439 --> 01:52:17,400
Speaker 3: is a special place to play. But I don't understand

2132
01:52:17,800 --> 01:52:20,240
Speaker 3: how that that came in at number one above some

2133
01:52:20,360 --> 01:52:23,599
Speaker 3: of the things. Again, I would have put LSU ahead

2134
01:52:23,640 --> 01:52:26,519
Speaker 3: of it. I would have put Georgia and Bama ahead

2135
01:52:26,520 --> 01:52:29,080
Speaker 3: of it. I certainly would have put Penn State and

2136
01:52:29,120 --> 01:52:30,920
Speaker 3: the White Out ahead of it. I had to put

2137
01:52:31,040 --> 01:52:33,280
Speaker 3: to Ohio State ahead of it. I mean, it's just

2138
01:52:33,800 --> 01:52:35,280
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have had a problem if they put the

2139
01:52:35,280 --> 01:52:38,080
Speaker 3: Big House ahead of it. So I think that that

2140
01:52:38,280 --> 01:52:40,760
Speaker 3: was jarring to me. I read that and my first

2141
01:52:40,760 --> 01:52:42,800
Speaker 3: thought was like, did they do it wrong or did

2142
01:52:42,800 --> 01:52:43,320
Speaker 3: they just want a.

2143
01:52:43,320 --> 01:52:43,880
Speaker 4: Bunch of clicks?

2144
01:52:43,920 --> 01:52:44,760
Speaker 3: An engagement on this.

2145
01:52:44,920 --> 01:52:46,559
Speaker 4: You know now I felt the same thing.

2146
01:52:46,640 --> 01:52:49,040
Speaker 2: I didn't get it, like I get then the third

2147
01:52:49,160 --> 01:52:53,120
Speaker 2: quarter and the whole thing and it's good stuff. Like

2148
01:52:54,200 --> 01:52:58,080
Speaker 2: it's just not yo, I don't think it's top five

2149
01:52:58,479 --> 01:53:01,760
Speaker 2: at all. And I'm with you, you know, ten to

2150
01:53:01,800 --> 01:53:06,360
Speaker 2: twelve to thirteen, like the swamp is more menacing to play,

2151
01:53:07,400 --> 01:53:10,400
Speaker 2: and you got like, like, I still think Notre Dave

2152
01:53:10,520 --> 01:53:13,880
Speaker 2: is way low. It's a great place to watch a game.

2153
01:53:13,960 --> 01:53:17,920
Speaker 2: It's it's it's pretty tough. Those people are legit.

2154
01:53:18,360 --> 01:53:20,680
Speaker 3: Notre Dame being in the twenties in Texas a and

2155
01:53:20,840 --> 01:53:24,559
Speaker 3: m being one. Just I don't understand it. I don't

2156
01:53:24,640 --> 01:53:26,320
Speaker 3: understand it at all. And the funny thing is for

2157
01:53:26,360 --> 01:53:29,519
Speaker 3: anyone that doesn't know this, with the video game, the

2158
01:53:29,640 --> 01:53:33,719
Speaker 3: rankings do matter because what happens on the modern games

2159
01:53:33,760 --> 01:53:35,320
Speaker 3: in general, and what will be a feature in this

2160
01:53:35,400 --> 01:53:39,439
Speaker 3: game is that in big moments, the suddenly the screen

2161
01:53:39,479 --> 01:53:43,080
Speaker 3: will start to move, your controller starts to vibrate. It's

2162
01:53:43,120 --> 01:53:45,599
Speaker 3: their way of trying to affect you as a player,

2163
01:53:45,640 --> 01:53:47,400
Speaker 3: the same way the stadium. So they put a lot

2164
01:53:47,439 --> 01:53:51,439
Speaker 3: of thought and energy into making sure that they give

2165
01:53:51,479 --> 01:53:56,679
Speaker 3: the appropriate sort of love to home field advantage, into

2166
01:53:56,800 --> 01:54:00,639
Speaker 3: momentum and all of these adrenaline for quarterback. They put

2167
01:54:00,680 --> 01:54:02,400
Speaker 3: it all into the game. So this wasn't just a

2168
01:54:02,439 --> 01:54:06,080
Speaker 3: willy nilly list. I'm just surprised. I wonder who they

2169
01:54:06,120 --> 01:54:08,160
Speaker 3: consulted to come up with Texas A and M at

2170
01:54:08,240 --> 01:54:08,679
Speaker 3: number one.

2171
01:54:09,200 --> 01:54:10,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, lit'sten.

2172
01:54:10,560 --> 01:54:13,840
Speaker 2: It's to your point, it's your control of shakes and

2173
01:54:14,360 --> 01:54:17,000
Speaker 2: you're trying to look at the place of the play shaking,

2174
01:54:17,600 --> 01:54:20,719
Speaker 2: so you're having a tough time processing and reading the play.

2175
01:54:21,000 --> 01:54:24,320
Speaker 2: I mean, it's really cool how they do it. Here's

2176
01:54:24,520 --> 01:54:28,960
Speaker 2: here's one that I'm shocked not in the top twenty five. Nebraska.

2177
01:54:29,640 --> 01:54:30,800
Speaker 2: That's a spectacle.

2178
01:54:31,200 --> 01:54:31,920
Speaker 3: They have the.

2179
01:54:32,040 --> 01:54:38,000
Speaker 2: Longest they have the longest sellout streak and all of

2180
01:54:38,080 --> 01:54:42,040
Speaker 2: college football. I guess it goes back to sixty six

2181
01:54:42,200 --> 01:54:47,160
Speaker 2: maybe something like that. Something crazy, and they're not they

2182
01:54:47,160 --> 01:54:48,520
Speaker 2: didn't make it top twenty five.

2183
01:54:50,840 --> 01:54:53,839
Speaker 3: I will admit that I am I am too biased

2184
01:54:54,160 --> 01:54:56,680
Speaker 3: for how great the experience was in Nebraska to not

2185
01:54:56,760 --> 01:54:59,040
Speaker 3: put them in the twenty five. I think it's too

2186
01:54:59,240 --> 01:55:01,360
Speaker 3: it'ssolutely incredible experience.

2187
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:03,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I was a big miss.

2188
01:55:04,640 --> 01:55:09,440

Speaker 4: All right, welcome back, fellas.

2194
01:55:30,960 --> 01:55:36,600
Speaker 2: All right, so let's dive into Lebron a little bit,

2195
01:55:36,640 --> 01:55:40,240
Speaker 2: all right and the whole Bronni James stuff at people

2196
01:55:40,280 --> 01:55:45,480
Speaker 2: going nuts, and I hear it's nepotism. It's nepotism, And

2197
01:55:45,640 --> 01:55:49,120
Speaker 2: my answer is, yeah, so what right?

2198
01:55:49,200 --> 01:55:52,640
Speaker 4: Like, of course it is. Everybody knows despotism.

2199
01:55:52,680 --> 01:55:59,000
Speaker 2: Everybody understands Lebron's relationship with the NBA and why the

2200
01:55:59,080 --> 01:56:03,240
Speaker 2: Lakers would a roster spot with it for his son,

2201
01:56:03,600 --> 01:56:07,960
Speaker 2: draft him and stash him. I mean, uh, it's almost

2202
01:56:08,040 --> 01:56:11,080
Speaker 2: a non story. I think it's a great story, a

2203
01:56:11,160 --> 01:56:14,000
Speaker 2: father and a son playing on the same team in

2204
01:56:14,040 --> 01:56:14,600
Speaker 2: the NBA.

2205
01:56:14,760 --> 01:56:17,440
Speaker 4: Even the son is not really worthy of.

2206
01:56:17,400 --> 01:56:21,480
Speaker 2: It, you know, if you manufacture a little bit, so

2207
01:56:21,560 --> 01:56:25,080
Speaker 2: what I don't I don't see the big deal in it,

2208
01:56:25,120 --> 01:56:32,040
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, how about you, Oh my man,

2209
01:56:32,080 --> 01:56:35,640
Speaker 2: FITZI is uh is get some has some tech issues.

2210
01:56:36,120 --> 01:56:39,640
Speaker 2: I mean in my in my idea, I don't, I

2211
01:56:39,720 --> 01:56:41,480
Speaker 2: know everybody's freaking out over it.

2212
01:56:41,680 --> 01:56:43,160
Speaker 4: Bronnie brownie Brownie.

2213
01:56:44,120 --> 01:56:46,680
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, like when you're the best player on

2214
01:56:46,720 --> 01:56:50,280
Speaker 2: the on the planet, you have been one of the

2215
01:56:50,360 --> 01:56:54,960
Speaker 2: greatest all time players top three with him and Wilt

2216
01:56:55,040 --> 01:56:59,720
Speaker 2: and Jordan. Through certain spoils that you get and you deserve,

2217
01:56:59,800 --> 01:57:04,000
Speaker 2: you should get and that's having your son get drafted

2218
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:04,960
Speaker 2: in the second round.

2219
01:57:05,760 --> 01:57:08,720
Speaker 3: Where do you think Fitzi as also? I mean, it's

2220
01:57:08,720 --> 01:57:12,280
Speaker 3: the second round draft pick. Who really cares? Honest to god,

2221
01:57:12,400 --> 01:57:14,720
Speaker 3: we're making this huge deal out of a second round

2222
01:57:14,800 --> 01:57:17,840
Speaker 3: draft pick. Can anybody tell me who was dealt or

2223
01:57:17,880 --> 01:57:24,960
Speaker 3: who was picked fifty five in any of the last Well.

2224
01:57:25,240 --> 01:57:29,280
Speaker 2: I don't think you just evaporated again, No, but Fitzi's

2225
01:57:29,280 --> 01:57:35,720
Speaker 2: points correct. Which is it is? It's a second round pick? Like,

2226
01:57:36,080 --> 01:57:38,840
Speaker 2: what's the here you go? He's back now I.

2227
01:57:38,880 --> 01:57:40,920
Speaker 3: Must be having like I guess there's gremlins in my

2228
01:57:41,080 --> 01:57:45,160
Speaker 3: in my prophone. What are the Lakers doing? They're not

2229
01:57:45,240 --> 01:57:47,680
Speaker 3: any closer right now to winning a championship than they

2230
01:57:47,720 --> 01:57:50,800
Speaker 3: were a month ago. They're not a team that anyone's

2231
01:57:50,840 --> 01:57:52,640
Speaker 3: going to take seriously in the West. If you had to,

2232
01:57:52,880 --> 01:57:55,680
Speaker 3: if you had to right now, bet your house on

2233
01:57:55,760 --> 01:57:58,120
Speaker 3: if the Lakers can win a championship. In the next one,

2234
01:57:58,240 --> 01:58:00,720
Speaker 3: three or five years. Would you place that bet on? Yes,

2235
01:58:00,960 --> 01:58:02,000
Speaker 3: I wouldn't like.

2236
01:58:03,720 --> 01:58:09,000
Speaker 2: First of all, during a terrible situation, because you have

2237
01:58:09,080 --> 01:58:12,840
Speaker 2: the end of Lebron and Anthony Davis.

2238
01:58:13,240 --> 01:58:15,560
Speaker 4: There's no bridge to the other side.

2239
01:58:15,920 --> 01:58:19,280
Speaker 2: I mean, Anthony Davis a great ballplayer, but you know

2240
01:58:19,360 --> 01:58:21,480
Speaker 2: the older he gets, the more injury pron he's going

2241
01:58:21,560 --> 01:58:23,480
Speaker 2: to get. Right, He's already a guy that's going to

2242
01:58:23,520 --> 01:58:26,480
Speaker 2: miss time. I mean, you have no bridge to the

2243
01:58:26,520 --> 01:58:27,160
Speaker 2: other side.

2244
01:58:28,160 --> 01:58:32,560
Speaker 3: There is a The Lakers are judged on the theory

2245
01:58:32,560 --> 01:58:35,480
Speaker 3: of championships, right, and that or the premise that they

2246
01:58:35,480 --> 01:58:38,760
Speaker 3: should be contending for championships every single year. I don't

2247
01:58:38,800 --> 01:58:41,440
Speaker 3: see how with Lebron they're going to contend for championships.

2248
01:58:41,440 --> 01:58:50,920
Speaker 2: So the only thing, No, it went out again fits

2249
01:58:50,960 --> 01:58:55,920
Speaker 2: he You definitely have gremlins. No, they're not going to

2250
01:58:56,000 --> 01:59:02,400
Speaker 2: contend for a title. I don't sit barring barring another.

2251
01:59:02,760 --> 01:59:05,720
Speaker 2: You know they need another moved. I mean, this is

2252
01:59:05,800 --> 01:59:08,440
Speaker 2: not We've seen it last year. I don't know how

2253
01:59:08,480 --> 01:59:14,720
Speaker 2: this is a title team. I just think again, I

2254
01:59:14,760 --> 01:59:20,160
Speaker 2: don't understand all the NEPO hate that's going Bronni's way.

2255
01:59:20,360 --> 01:59:23,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you know this happened you know, throughout the

2256
01:59:24,000 --> 01:59:28,400
Speaker 2: course of time. And I don't even think it's a

2257
01:59:28,440 --> 01:59:33,520
Speaker 2: bad thing, Like in the sense that if Lebron James,

2258
01:59:34,520 --> 01:59:37,120
Speaker 2: who's who made his way? You want to talk about

2259
01:59:37,120 --> 01:59:37,680
Speaker 2: self made?

2260
01:59:37,760 --> 01:59:38,000
Speaker 4: Right?

2261
01:59:38,680 --> 01:59:43,839
Speaker 2: You know the kid from Akron who becomes this amazing player,

2262
01:59:44,800 --> 01:59:52,480
Speaker 2: this incredible businessman, right, Like who's a model athlete? I

2263
01:59:52,520 --> 01:59:54,800
Speaker 2: mean we just said, I don't care what anybody says.

2264
01:59:54,840 --> 01:59:56,840
Speaker 2: Lower You don't have to be a fan. You can

2265
01:59:56,920 --> 02:00:00,720
Speaker 2: think Jordan's better or whatever. The one thing the guy

2266
02:00:01,240 --> 02:00:07,680
Speaker 2: holds himself in the most exemplary way, like just god,

2267
02:00:07,840 --> 02:00:13,000
Speaker 2: all I may respect everything he does, he does well,

2268
02:00:13,680 --> 02:00:14,560
Speaker 2: he does.

2269
02:00:16,120 --> 02:00:17,720
Speaker 4: In a way of respect.

2270
02:00:19,240 --> 02:00:22,480
Speaker 2: And so you look at this thing and you go,

2271
02:00:23,680 --> 02:00:26,839
Speaker 2: so what that that the Lakers drafted Brownie?

2272
02:00:26,880 --> 02:00:27,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

2273
02:00:28,040 --> 02:00:32,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, If I'm Lebron, I want you to draft little Land, right.

2274
02:00:33,400 --> 02:00:36,640
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, I think we all as parents

2275
02:00:36,680 --> 02:00:39,560
Speaker 2: would do the same thing. All right, Where the fellas

2290
02:01:49,840 --> 02:01:50,600
Speaker 4: Been through it all.

2291
02:01:50,640 --> 02:01:53,520
Speaker 2: So the NBA Draft, we did a little bubble on

2292
02:01:53,600 --> 02:01:57,640
Speaker 2: that and the idea that like this is one of

2293
02:01:57,680 --> 02:01:59,960
Speaker 2: those drafts where.

2294
02:02:01,240 --> 02:02:02,520
Speaker 4: You just don't know.

2295
02:02:02,600 --> 02:02:04,920
Speaker 2: It could be the one of the worst ones that

2296
02:02:04,920 --> 02:02:08,640
Speaker 2: they're projecting as the Anthony Bennett draft. It could be

2297
02:02:08,720 --> 02:02:14,480
Speaker 2: that we'll see if the French we can develop into

2298
02:02:14,680 --> 02:02:19,600
Speaker 2: some impact players. Something tells me that there's going to

2299
02:02:19,720 --> 02:02:23,480
Speaker 2: be two or three kids that come from this draft,

2300
02:02:23,520 --> 02:02:27,080
Speaker 2: and it's usually the way it works where you just

2301
02:02:27,120 --> 02:02:31,480
Speaker 2: don't spot it. It's such a difficult process. Now, the

2302
02:02:31,600 --> 02:02:34,200
Speaker 2: NFL draft so easy, you have a basis not easy,

2303
02:02:34,240 --> 02:02:39,440
Speaker 2: but compared to the NBA, you have a body of work, right,

2304
02:02:39,560 --> 02:02:46,640
Speaker 2: Like you have three years of normally of playing college

2305
02:02:46,680 --> 02:02:50,919
Speaker 2: football most of the time four you have.

2306
02:02:53,040 --> 02:02:54,760
Speaker 4: Because it's weights broken up.

2307
02:02:55,520 --> 02:02:58,840
Speaker 2: You have all the testing, the physical stuff, how it

2308
02:02:58,920 --> 02:03:02,040
Speaker 2: relates with the position and the whole thing.

2309
02:03:02,880 --> 02:03:04,680
Speaker 4: So it's so much.

2310
02:03:04,640 --> 02:03:08,320
Speaker 2: Easier the way I look at it in the NFL

2311
02:03:08,560 --> 02:03:12,920
Speaker 2: to look at players than in the NBA. Where the NBA,

2312
02:03:13,360 --> 02:03:16,240
Speaker 2: you know again, you're you're half baked pies coming out

2313
02:03:16,280 --> 02:03:18,640
Speaker 2: of school. Really, you got a lot of foreign kids,

2314
02:03:18,680 --> 02:03:22,240
Speaker 2: you got G League kids. The league loves to draft

2315
02:03:22,480 --> 02:03:27,520
Speaker 2: young players, right, so they don't draft don't Connect because

2316
02:03:27,640 --> 02:03:31,200
Speaker 2: Connect is twenty three. They rather go with an eighteen

2317
02:03:31,320 --> 02:03:33,840
Speaker 2: ninety year old. I loved it for the Lakers to

2318
02:03:33,880 --> 02:03:37,720
Speaker 2: get Connected to is to me, a tremendous.

2319
02:03:37,160 --> 02:03:40,760
Speaker 4: Talent who got blitzed.

2320
02:03:41,440 --> 02:03:45,240
Speaker 2: Best player on his team and still scored despite getting

2321
02:03:45,280 --> 02:03:48,960
Speaker 2: doubled and triple the times we got FITZI back fits

2322
02:03:49,000 --> 02:03:50,040
Speaker 2: a yeah.

2323
02:03:50,080 --> 02:03:52,760
Speaker 3: And here's the thing that I love about Dalton Connect

2324
02:03:52,760 --> 02:03:56,000
Speaker 3: talking to him last year going into the tournament. You know,

2325
02:03:56,080 --> 02:03:59,160
Speaker 3: he had the opportunity to go several places when he

2326
02:03:59,280 --> 02:04:01,480
Speaker 3: was figuring out where to transfer for his last year,

2327
02:04:02,040 --> 02:04:05,000
Speaker 3: and when I asked him why Tennessee. He said, straight up,

2328
02:04:05,360 --> 02:04:08,760
Speaker 3: without hesitation, my defense stinks, and I knew I needed

2329
02:04:08,760 --> 02:04:10,840
Speaker 3: to go someplace too. It helped me get better at that.

2330
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:13,160
Speaker 3: And I think that's just a level of self awareness

2331
02:04:13,680 --> 02:04:16,240
Speaker 3: to the process that I love for a kid that's

2332
02:04:16,280 --> 02:04:18,920
Speaker 3: going into the NBA. Right, Like, to your point that

2333
02:04:18,920 --> 02:04:21,400
Speaker 3: they're all half big pies, you better have somebody that

2334
02:04:21,960 --> 02:04:24,360
Speaker 3: knows they're half baked, that knows that they need work,

2335
02:04:24,400 --> 02:04:26,720
Speaker 3: that knows that they need improvement and is willing to

2336
02:04:26,760 --> 02:04:29,040
Speaker 3: make those improvements. That's that's tough to find because a

2337
02:04:29,040 --> 02:04:31,120
Speaker 3: lot of these kids come through they don't realize the

2338
02:04:31,160 --> 02:04:34,040
Speaker 3: deficiencies in his game. I think Connect was actually a

2339
02:04:34,080 --> 02:04:36,920
Speaker 3: really smart pick by the Lakers. As much as we're

2340
02:04:36,920 --> 02:04:39,200
Speaker 3: talking about Bronnie, we should be talking about Connect because

2341
02:04:39,240 --> 02:04:40,960
Speaker 3: he might actually get some playing time and might make

2342
02:04:41,000 --> 02:04:41,560
Speaker 3: a difference.

2343
02:04:42,080 --> 02:04:45,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta tell you, I loved him. I thought

2344
02:04:46,000 --> 02:04:48,840
Speaker 2: I thought he played. He's a good athlete. He could

2345
02:04:48,840 --> 02:04:51,920
Speaker 2: shoot the bull and score all three levels. And again,

2346
02:04:52,040 --> 02:04:57,840
Speaker 2: like I love having a kid that is your best

2347
02:04:57,880 --> 02:05:01,959
Speaker 2: player on your team and you're they're constantly being doubled

2348
02:05:02,080 --> 02:05:05,440
Speaker 2: and you're still scoring, right, Like I look at that

2349
02:05:05,520 --> 02:05:09,000
Speaker 2: I look at that, that to me, at six four

2350
02:05:09,000 --> 02:05:12,520
Speaker 2: and a half is what the wing player's supposed to be.

2351
02:05:13,160 --> 02:05:16,520
Speaker 2: And I don't quite frankly care that he's twenty three.

2352
02:05:16,960 --> 02:05:21,560
Speaker 2: I know that's that's a negative. That doesn't bother me.

2353
02:05:22,280 --> 02:05:25,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially the way teams are built now, on the

2354
02:05:25,720 --> 02:05:28,520
Speaker 3: way contracts are built, are we really that worried about

2355
02:05:28,520 --> 02:05:32,000
Speaker 3: somebody being twenty three twenty four? I think we find

2356
02:05:32,200 --> 02:05:35,360
Speaker 3: stupid things to worry about when it comes to drafting.

2357
02:05:35,680 --> 02:05:37,280
Speaker 3: We find like there was a there was a kid

2358
02:05:37,320 --> 02:05:40,080
Speaker 3: at the Rivals camp that I was at Franklin. I

2359
02:05:40,080 --> 02:05:41,800
Speaker 3: don't even know who he was because I was downstairs

2360
02:05:41,840 --> 02:05:44,200
Speaker 3: at the time. It was playing the piano and was

2361
02:05:44,240 --> 02:05:47,720
Speaker 3: playing beautifully, like he is obviously an accomplished piano player

2362
02:05:47,720 --> 02:05:50,000
Speaker 3: as a kid. I don't know which kid was. Sorry,

2363
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:52,200
Speaker 3: I can't get him love here, but he was absolutely

2364
02:05:52,240 --> 02:05:54,040
Speaker 3: playing beautifully. And I was in a meeting that was

2365
02:05:54,120 --> 02:05:57,040
Speaker 3: right below it happening, and somebody said, man, that's so cool,

2366
02:05:57,080 --> 02:05:59,960
Speaker 3: and I said, yeah, but we are in a world

2367
02:06:00,000 --> 02:06:03,840
Speaker 3: world where NFL teams the wars they use that against kids.

2368
02:06:03,840 --> 02:06:06,720
Speaker 3: They're like, well, he's got other interests, Like that's a

2369
02:06:06,800 --> 02:06:09,360
Speaker 3: real thing. Kids felt like if they admitted that they

2370
02:06:09,480 --> 02:06:10,960
Speaker 3: like doing other things, you know what I mean. So

2371
02:06:11,040 --> 02:06:14,160
Speaker 3: we find stupid reasons to dock kids when they're coming

2372
02:06:14,200 --> 02:06:16,720
Speaker 3: into the league, when realistically, if you can play, you

2373
02:06:16,720 --> 02:06:18,440
Speaker 3: can play, and if you can play right now, and

2374
02:06:18,480 --> 02:06:20,520
Speaker 3: you can make a difference to the Lakers right now

2375
02:06:20,560 --> 02:06:22,560
Speaker 3: for the next three or four or five years, let's

2376
02:06:22,560 --> 02:06:24,520
Speaker 3: worry about the fact that you're too old coming out

2377
02:06:24,800 --> 02:06:27,480
Speaker 3: when the time is right to do that. But my god,

2378
02:06:27,520 --> 02:06:30,360
Speaker 3: that even then that you won't feel the repercussions of

2379
02:06:30,400 --> 02:06:32,680
Speaker 3: age being part of this conversation for at least five

2380
02:06:32,720 --> 02:06:34,200
Speaker 3: to seven years. So what do we do it?

2381
02:06:35,240 --> 02:06:38,320
Speaker 4: Dude? I agree. I mean I thought that Sixer should

2382
02:06:38,320 --> 02:06:39,360
Speaker 4: have took him at sixteen.

2383
02:06:42,080 --> 02:06:44,880
Speaker 2: I was like, wow, he's a gift, like sitting there

2384
02:06:44,880 --> 02:06:46,360
Speaker 2: because you need a wing plier.

2385
02:06:47,480 --> 02:06:51,280
Speaker 4: And they take Jarret McCain. Who's say. I mean, I

2386
02:06:51,440 --> 02:06:51,720
Speaker 4: like him.

2387
02:06:51,720 --> 02:06:56,400
Speaker 2: I think he could shoot the basketball. He's undersize, he's

2388
02:06:56,440 --> 02:06:59,920
Speaker 2: really a two, not a one, and he's kind of underside.

2389
02:07:00,480 --> 02:07:03,480
Speaker 2: Like listen, I think he I think he'll he'll play

2390
02:07:03,520 --> 02:07:06,560
Speaker 2: in the league. I could have some success. My thing

2391
02:07:06,680 --> 02:07:11,280
Speaker 2: is you're already having undersize too. In Maxie and I

2392
02:07:11,280 --> 02:07:13,960
Speaker 2: don't know how they fit. If and you look at

2393
02:07:13,960 --> 02:07:16,960
Speaker 2: the playoffs, Max, he's going to play forty minutes a game,

2394
02:07:17,080 --> 02:07:17,640
Speaker 2: forty four.

2395
02:07:17,520 --> 02:07:20,360
Speaker 4: Minutes a night. So I don't know, I don't know

2396
02:07:20,360 --> 02:07:20,760
Speaker 4: how that and.

2397
02:07:20,680 --> 02:07:22,600
Speaker 2: You're trying to win now like you're trying to win

2398
02:07:22,640 --> 02:07:24,600
Speaker 2: now within beats. I didn't see that where that made

2399
02:07:24,640 --> 02:07:25,240
Speaker 2: any sense.

2400
02:07:26,200 --> 02:07:28,720
Speaker 3: Here's the thing. I love your analysis of it. By

2401
02:07:28,760 --> 02:07:30,880
Speaker 3: the way, he's a great kid. I think that's part

2402
02:07:30,920 --> 02:07:33,040
Speaker 3: of why so many people are here to see him go.

2403
02:07:33,200 --> 02:07:37,320
Speaker 3: He's a great kid. If he fails because he's undersized

2404
02:07:37,920 --> 02:07:40,040
Speaker 3: or because it's not a great system fit, that's fine.

2405
02:07:40,160 --> 02:07:42,000
Speaker 3: But can we just stop talking about whether or not

2406
02:07:42,040 --> 02:07:44,360
Speaker 3: somebody's on TikTok as a reason they should or shouldn't

2407
02:07:44,360 --> 02:07:48,320
Speaker 3: be drafted. Oh yeah, some of that conversation like oh, well,

2408
02:07:48,360 --> 02:07:51,280
Speaker 3: you know, he paints his fingernails and he's on TikTok

2409
02:07:51,400 --> 02:07:54,400
Speaker 3: monetizing And I'm like, okay, so he's got like his

2410
02:07:54,440 --> 02:07:56,880
Speaker 3: own sense of who he is and he's already figured

2411
02:07:56,880 --> 02:07:59,920
Speaker 3: out how to monetize his entrepreneuriality. I'm going to make

2412
02:07:59,920 --> 02:08:01,360
Speaker 3: that word. I don't know if it's really.

2413
02:08:02,280 --> 02:08:05,400
Speaker 2: He's so bright, I mean's he's a sweetheart of a

2414
02:08:05,520 --> 02:08:08,320
Speaker 2: kid too. He's got a great he's got a smile.

2415
02:08:08,600 --> 02:08:12,480
Speaker 2: I mean, God bless him. I mean from a million ways.

2416
02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:15,280
Speaker 2: In fact, I have a you know, you know, I

2417
02:08:15,360 --> 02:08:18,400
Speaker 2: do my deal, my five for you, where I do

2418
02:08:18,520 --> 02:08:24,440
Speaker 2: five questions every week and one of the questions is

2419
02:08:25,680 --> 02:08:26,839
Speaker 2: off of McKain.

2420
02:08:27,480 --> 02:08:28,200
Speaker 4: I'll give it to you.

2421
02:08:28,520 --> 02:08:30,760
Speaker 2: So we're gonna play the game where I give five

2422
02:08:30,880 --> 02:08:35,320
Speaker 2: questions called the Five. I give everybody five questions and

2423
02:08:35,880 --> 02:08:38,680
Speaker 2: you gotta answer, and there's no wrong answers, but it's

2424
02:08:38,920 --> 02:08:43,880
Speaker 2: they're five e collected questions. So FITZI, we'll have Mighty

2425
02:08:43,960 --> 02:08:47,920
Speaker 2: Mark and we'll have Brianna play. All right, our production team.

2426
02:08:48,160 --> 02:08:51,560
Speaker 2: He usually figure's in, but figure he's out today he's not.

2427
02:08:51,760 --> 02:08:52,320
Speaker 4: He's not there.

2428
02:08:52,360 --> 02:08:57,560
Speaker 2: But the question is, give me an athlete who had

2429
02:08:57,640 --> 02:09:04,880
Speaker 2: his own unique and almost unpopular to the uh May

2430
02:09:05,120 --> 02:09:10,240
Speaker 2: old school kind of harsh view of the way sports.

2431
02:09:10,520 --> 02:09:16,640
Speaker 2: So the example is, back in the day that predates us,

2432
02:09:16,840 --> 02:09:22,440
Speaker 2: Joe Namath was wearing a fur coat, did a pante

2433
02:09:22,480 --> 02:09:27,400
Speaker 2: hoose commercial and he was they had long hair, hanging

2434
02:09:27,440 --> 02:09:30,640
Speaker 2: out with you know, with all kinds of models and actresses.

2435
02:09:31,400 --> 02:09:36,240
Speaker 2: When he was he came after Johnny Unitas, who was

2436
02:09:36,320 --> 02:09:40,480
Speaker 2: like all Americans, straight laced, buzz cut.

2437
02:09:40,720 --> 02:09:42,520
Speaker 4: So that's kind of the athlete.

2438
02:09:42,560 --> 02:09:45,160
Speaker 2: And the other one that I'll give you an example

2439
02:09:45,480 --> 02:09:49,960
Speaker 2: is Alan Iverson when AI came to Philly, like they

2440
02:09:50,040 --> 02:09:53,280
Speaker 2: made a big deal over you know, he had ink,

2441
02:09:53,600 --> 02:09:58,040
Speaker 2: he had neck tattoos, right, he had rose. He didn't

2442
02:09:58,040 --> 02:10:00,880
Speaker 2: wear his suit like I heard at all, And I'm like,

2443
02:10:01,560 --> 02:10:05,840
Speaker 2: that's just style, man. Now It's interesting because you know

2444
02:10:06,200 --> 02:10:09,879
Speaker 2: all the ache sleeves and everything else came into fashion.

2445
02:10:10,480 --> 02:10:12,440
Speaker 4: You know, he basically ushered it in.

2446
02:10:13,480 --> 02:10:17,320
Speaker 2: And it's ridiculous that we look at players because they

2447
02:10:17,320 --> 02:10:20,680
Speaker 2: have a flair for something to judge them over that.

2448
02:10:20,960 --> 02:10:25,840
Speaker 4: But anyway, that's that's the question. Number one FITSI.

2449
02:10:26,240 --> 02:10:28,520
Speaker 3: All right, So there's a very obvious answer, but I'm

2450
02:10:28,560 --> 02:10:31,080
Speaker 3: gonna give that one yet. I'll see who else goes

2451
02:10:31,080 --> 02:10:33,560
Speaker 3: to this one. But the first first name that popped

2452
02:10:33,600 --> 02:10:35,480
Speaker 3: into my head, as you said it would be for

2453
02:10:35,600 --> 02:10:39,879
Speaker 3: my childhood, would be Jim McMahon, Like Jim McMahon everything

2454
02:10:40,160 --> 02:10:43,200
Speaker 3: and a headband and having the battles with the league

2455
02:10:43,240 --> 02:10:46,400
Speaker 3: and people getting all sorts of worked up about his

2456
02:10:46,600 --> 02:10:50,520
Speaker 3: attitude with that Bears team. When I think somebody that

2457
02:10:50,680 --> 02:10:53,440
Speaker 3: just didn't fit into the norm, but just had this

2458
02:10:53,560 --> 02:10:56,760
Speaker 3: thing about him that everybody gravitated to. McMahon in the

2459
02:10:57,200 --> 02:10:59,800
Speaker 3: in what in the mid eighties was that was just

2460
02:11:00,160 --> 02:11:02,080
Speaker 3: if you were a kid, I didn't matter what your favoring.

2461
02:11:02,240 --> 02:11:04,600
Speaker 3: I'm obviously been a Raiders fan my whole life. There

2462
02:11:04,640 --> 02:11:06,160
Speaker 3: was no way I was rooting against the Bears and

2463
02:11:06,200 --> 02:11:08,240
Speaker 3: Jim mcman because he was just so cool like that.

2464
02:11:08,240 --> 02:11:09,680
Speaker 3: That's so McMahon is my answer.

2465
02:11:10,080 --> 02:11:13,680
Speaker 2: That's a great answer. All right, let's go to Mighty Mark.

2466
02:11:14,440 --> 02:11:18,760
Speaker 2: Give me an athlete who marched to his own drum beat.

2467
02:11:19,040 --> 02:11:22,080
Speaker 8: I think the guys was he was a Dallas guy.

2468
02:11:22,120 --> 02:11:23,560
Speaker 8: Think of Hollywood Henderson.

2469
02:11:24,720 --> 02:11:28,320
Speaker 4: What that's a bust out old school Yeah.

2470
02:11:28,400 --> 02:11:33,720
Speaker 2: He didn't invent the touchdown celebration in the end zone, so.

2471
02:11:33,720 --> 02:11:38,360
Speaker 8: He was he was an outcast for Dallas being you know,

2472
02:11:38,640 --> 02:11:42,360
Speaker 8: Landry had strict rules about how to be a Dallas cowboy,

2473
02:11:42,880 --> 02:11:46,280
Speaker 8: and Hollywood was gonna be his own thing because his

2474
02:11:46,440 --> 02:11:49,160
Speaker 8: name was Hollywood. So he kind of had his own

2475
02:11:49,280 --> 02:11:52,640
Speaker 8: rules about how he wanted to celebrate and how he played,

2476
02:11:52,760 --> 02:11:55,080
Speaker 8: how he tackled, how he.

2477
02:11:55,080 --> 02:11:58,880
Speaker 9: Was gonna just be Hollywood. Henderson that's a.

2478
02:11:58,920 --> 02:12:04,960
Speaker 2: Great is that's a great answer. He invented the touchdown celebration.

2479
02:12:06,040 --> 02:12:10,200
Speaker 2: Pre first of all, great job, welcome to the show,

2480
02:12:10,320 --> 02:12:13,800
Speaker 2: welcome to the fellas. You are a great fella.

2481
02:12:13,800 --> 02:12:14,240
Speaker 10: Thank you.

2482
02:12:16,720 --> 02:12:23,600
Speaker 2: So, Bri, give me an athlete that march to their

2483
02:12:23,600 --> 02:12:24,640
Speaker 2: own drunk.

2484
02:12:24,840 --> 02:12:26,120
Speaker 10: I'm gonna go Dennis Rodman.

2485
02:12:26,760 --> 02:12:28,560
Speaker 4: Just oh, that's a great one.

2486
02:12:28,720 --> 02:12:30,640
Speaker 10: I knew that the one was gonna say.

2487
02:12:30,800 --> 02:12:34,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, dyeing the hair, the whole Madonna things, skipping practice

2488
02:12:34,960 --> 02:12:37,560
Speaker 11: to go to like a wrestling thing. I think like

2489
02:12:37,720 --> 02:12:39,720
Speaker 11: in w CW.

2490
02:12:39,840 --> 02:12:42,160
Speaker 10: I think back in the day. I remember that story.

2491
02:12:42,440 --> 02:12:43,839
Speaker 10: So I'm gonna go with Dennis Rodman.

2492
02:12:44,440 --> 02:12:49,160
Speaker 2: That's a great answer. Excellent answer, Brie. By the way,

2493
02:12:49,160 --> 02:12:54,160
Speaker 2: speaking of the athletes that painted their nails, right, the

2494
02:12:54,200 --> 02:12:58,200
Speaker 2: male athletes, there was a guy named Bill Polsover pits

2495
02:12:58,240 --> 02:13:02,120
Speaker 2: for the Mets and then nine right, so he painted

2496
02:13:02,120 --> 02:13:06,000
Speaker 2: his nails black. And the manager at the time was

2497
02:13:06,040 --> 02:13:08,720
Speaker 2: a guy named Dallas Green. Do you remember him, Fitteen,

2498
02:13:10,240 --> 02:13:15,360
Speaker 2: remember the name? Did we lose Fitty again?

2499
02:13:17,040 --> 02:13:17,480
Speaker 3: Oh?

2500
02:13:17,640 --> 02:13:22,760
Speaker 2: No, Anyway, Dallas was the manager. That was a great guy.

2501
02:13:23,080 --> 02:13:27,120
Speaker 2: But Dallas was He was about six ' five, had

2502
02:13:27,160 --> 02:13:33,160
Speaker 2: a mane of white hair and he was John Wayne,

2503
02:13:33,440 --> 02:13:37,480
Speaker 2: like this John Wayne figure old school. He was an

2504
02:13:37,520 --> 02:13:41,880
Speaker 2: older man and like he just didn't understand it.

2505
02:13:42,600 --> 02:13:45,480
Speaker 4: And it was it was, it was always.

2506
02:13:45,120 --> 02:13:49,760
Speaker 2: And that was the nineties, all right. Question number two

2507
02:13:50,840 --> 02:13:56,480
Speaker 2: of the five we talked about the NFL ticket, right,

2508
02:13:57,560 --> 02:14:01,760
Speaker 2: what is your ultimate FL experience?

2509
02:14:03,160 --> 02:14:04,160
Speaker 4: Who? When?

2510
02:14:04,600 --> 02:14:10,560
Speaker 2: How do you consume NFL football? Mark start with you.

2511
02:14:14,360 --> 02:14:17,520
Speaker 8: I would just sit in front of a TV, maybe

2512
02:14:17,520 --> 02:14:19,640
Speaker 8: go over to a buddy's house to watch the game.

2513
02:14:19,680 --> 02:14:24,560
Speaker 8: But I don't mind sitting by myself because during the game,

2514
02:14:25,000 --> 02:14:27,280
Speaker 8: I'm gonna channel Surfer then come back to the game

2515
02:14:27,400 --> 02:14:28,240
Speaker 8: from by myself.

2516
02:14:28,280 --> 02:14:30,640
Speaker 9: That's what's gonna happen. I'll watch the game.

2517
02:14:31,160 --> 02:14:33,760
Speaker 8: I'll get upset at the referees if it's a team

2518
02:14:33,840 --> 02:14:37,360
Speaker 8: that I like, But if I'm just watching a Sunday

2519
02:14:37,440 --> 02:14:42,040
Speaker 8: night game, hope, you know, hopefully it's a good game,

2520
02:14:42,480 --> 02:14:43,400
Speaker 8: and I'll just watch.

2521
02:14:43,480 --> 02:14:47,160
Speaker 4: Because what's your optimum time to watch a game? Is

2522
02:14:47,200 --> 02:14:51,280
Speaker 4: it early? Is it the fours or the later game

2523
02:14:51,400 --> 02:14:52,520
Speaker 4: the afternoon games?

2524
02:14:52,680 --> 02:14:55,400
Speaker 9: Well, being out here, i will, I'll, you know, I'll

2525
02:14:55,440 --> 02:14:58,400
Speaker 9: watch the game one after ten, right.

2526
02:14:58,360 --> 02:15:02,720
Speaker 8: And then I'll you know, when that one ends, I'll

2527
02:15:02,800 --> 02:15:06,480
Speaker 8: slide into the one o'clock game, if you know, for

2528
02:15:06,480 --> 02:15:10,960
Speaker 8: for Sunday afternoon, and then because it's you know, California,

2529
02:15:11,280 --> 02:15:13,560
Speaker 8: we'll get the Sunday night game. So there's like three

2530
02:15:13,640 --> 02:15:16,520
Speaker 8: games that we can get, you know, after the hype

2531
02:15:16,720 --> 02:15:20,920
Speaker 8: of whatever channel it's on a CBS game or Fox. Right,

2532
02:15:21,040 --> 02:15:24,680
Speaker 8: you watch the hype people first, and then there's the

2533
02:15:24,840 --> 02:15:27,760
Speaker 8: ten am game, and then there's the one o'clock game,

2534
02:15:28,480 --> 02:15:30,480
Speaker 8: and then there's the Sunday night game. So you get

2535
02:15:30,920 --> 02:15:33,520
Speaker 8: all the networks involved. So I'll just sit and watch

2536
02:15:33,520 --> 02:15:35,000
Speaker 8: it in front of my in front of the TV.

2537
02:15:35,160 --> 02:15:36,400

2549
02:16:07,840 --> 02:16:09,840
Speaker 4: Oh, sure you have your own NFL room.

2550
02:16:10,040 --> 02:16:11,720
Speaker 10: It's like a bree cave. Not a man cave, but

2551
02:16:11,800 --> 02:16:12,440
Speaker 10: like a bree cave.

2552

02:16:27,680 --> 02:16:29,800
Speaker 4: What is that? Who's your squad?

2559
02:16:30,040 --> 02:16:32,879
Speaker 10: I'm a Saints fan, so like, who'da.

2560
02:16:34,080 --> 02:16:35,879
Speaker 2: Oh really, now, how did you become that? You grew

2561
02:16:35,959 --> 02:16:38,720
Speaker 2: up in southern California? How did you become a Saints fan?

2562
02:16:38,760 --> 02:16:40,959
Speaker 11: Reggie Bush got drafted there and then so I just

2563
02:16:41,040 --> 02:16:43,920
Speaker 11: kind of had to follow and kind of go against

2564
02:16:44,000 --> 02:16:46,520
Speaker 11: my dad, and he was like a Cowboys fan, and

2565
02:16:47,360 --> 02:16:48,560
Speaker 11: I just I couldn't do it.

2566
02:16:48,680 --> 02:16:49,320
Speaker 10: I couldn't do it.

2567
02:16:50,040 --> 02:16:52,360
Speaker 4: Well, you made the right choice. You don't want to

2568

02:16:53,280 --> 02:16:53,840

02:16:59,400 --> 02:17:00,880
Speaker 2: Saints are whole franchise.

2573
02:17:01,920 --> 02:17:03,720

Speaker 2: you missed any portion of the program, and you can

2591
02:18:07,200 --> 02:18:11,200
Speaker 2: hang out with us as always the Fellas every Saturday

2592
02:18:11,280 --> 02:18:15,280
Speaker 2: right here on Fox Sports Radio. So we got fits

2593
02:18:15,280 --> 02:18:19,920
Speaker 2: you on the phone. We're doing our play the game

2594
02:18:20,000 --> 02:18:23,800
Speaker 2: the five Fitsy. I'll ask you and kind of touched

2595
02:18:23,840 --> 02:18:27,320
Speaker 2: on this, but question number two of the five is,

2596
02:18:28,120 --> 02:18:34,920
Speaker 2: how are you your favorite way to consume NFL football?

2597
02:18:35,240 --> 02:18:39,800
Speaker 2: Is your own NFL ticket? What would your own the

2598
02:18:39,920 --> 02:18:41,720
Speaker 2: fits the NFL ticket look like.

2599
02:18:44,240 --> 02:18:47,840
Speaker 3: My NFL ticket for everybody or just for me? Like you?

2600
02:18:47,840 --> 02:18:51,560
Speaker 4: No, just you just your own personal NFL ticket.

2601
02:18:52,120 --> 02:18:54,240
Speaker 3: Okay. So look, if I was in charge of the

2602
02:18:54,240 --> 02:18:57,000
Speaker 3: Sunday ticket, so one thing, like, here's what I would do.

2603
02:18:57,080 --> 02:18:59,640
Speaker 3: I would create. I would change the whole display screen.

2604
02:19:00,000 --> 02:19:02,040
Speaker 3: I would give me one big screen in the middle

2605
02:19:02,080 --> 02:19:04,879
Speaker 3: and then little boxes all around it instead of right now,

2606
02:19:05,000 --> 02:19:07,360
Speaker 3: anyone that has a Sunday ticket knows day Quad box,

2607
02:19:07,440 --> 02:19:09,640
Speaker 3: but they decide what four games are in there. So

2608
02:19:09,680 --> 02:19:12,160
Speaker 3: you can't always decide. Sometimes you can't, but you can.

2609
02:19:12,360 --> 02:19:14,240
Speaker 3: You got to get four games going on at once.

2610
02:19:14,280 --> 02:19:15,960
Speaker 3: It's painted butt. If I want to watch the Raiders,

2611
02:19:15,959 --> 02:19:17,520
Speaker 3: I want them to be on a big TV, but

2612
02:19:17,560 --> 02:19:19,119
Speaker 3: I want to see the other things that are going

2613
02:19:19,160 --> 02:19:21,080
Speaker 3: on around me. So if I could make my own

2614
02:19:21,120 --> 02:19:24,240
Speaker 3: Sunday ticket, I'd let me put one game that I choose,

2615
02:19:24,280 --> 02:19:27,120
Speaker 3: like even in the package, like make me a Raiders fan. Fine,

2616
02:19:27,160 --> 02:19:29,000
Speaker 3: I get the Raiders game on the big screen, and

2617
02:19:29,040 --> 02:19:31,400
Speaker 3: then all the way around it, like an edge, are

2618
02:19:31,440 --> 02:19:33,720
Speaker 3: little screens with other games. I could press a button

2619
02:19:33,720 --> 02:19:35,200
Speaker 3: and I can go from one of those to the other,

2620
02:19:35,280 --> 02:19:37,880
Speaker 3: and then I would invite all my friends. Although it

2621
02:19:37,959 --> 02:19:39,720
Speaker 3: doesn't I'm going to tell you like this is this

2622
02:19:39,760 --> 02:19:41,480
Speaker 3: is a first world thing, and I'm saying, all there.

2623
02:19:41,760 --> 02:19:45,400
Speaker 3: I saw this ad the other day for this, you know,

2624
02:19:45,480 --> 02:19:47,360
Speaker 3: like we all have TV mounts on our walls. I

2625
02:19:47,560 --> 02:19:49,680
Speaker 3: saw an ad the other day for a TV mount

2626
02:19:49,920 --> 02:19:53,160
Speaker 3: that attaches to your to your ceiling in your room

2627
02:19:53,520 --> 02:19:56,360
Speaker 3: and a flat screen on it, and it makes the

2628
02:19:56,400 --> 02:19:58,760
Speaker 3: TV sort of sit on the ceiling. Now I'm rethinking

2629
02:19:58,760 --> 02:20:00,720
Speaker 3: this because then you have a remote, you press the

2630
02:20:00,720 --> 02:20:03,960
Speaker 3: button that that TV drops from the like it's you know,

2631
02:20:04,040 --> 02:20:06,000
Speaker 3: flat up against the ceilings. You see it there, but

2632
02:20:06,040 --> 02:20:08,680
Speaker 3: it doesn't take any room. You press the remote and

2633
02:20:08,720 --> 02:20:11,160
Speaker 3: then it hangs down like a TV does. I might

2634
02:20:11,240 --> 02:20:13,280
Speaker 3: install one of those, so then I have like two

2635
02:20:13,320 --> 02:20:17,200
Speaker 3: TV options without having that fifty two TVs like that.

2636
02:20:17,280 --> 02:20:19,640
Speaker 3: That's my new first world. But although I'm not good

2637
02:20:19,680 --> 02:20:22,680
Speaker 3: at installing things, so you know, I have this fear

2638
02:20:22,720 --> 02:20:24,600
Speaker 3: that my whole ceiling is just gonna rip down in

2639
02:20:24,600 --> 02:20:26,760
Speaker 3: my living room because my TV ends up there. But

2640
02:20:27,480 --> 02:20:29,240
Speaker 3: I think that might become my new thing this fall.

2641
02:20:29,760 --> 02:20:32,640
Speaker 4: I love that. That's a great idea.

2642
02:20:32,920 --> 02:20:34,680
Speaker 2: Did you hear about I don't know, because you were

2643
02:20:34,800 --> 02:20:37,680
Speaker 2: you were AVINGE some issues. Did you hear that our

2644
02:20:37,760 --> 02:20:44,520
Speaker 2: producer Brie has our own pre cave with three televisions.

2645
02:20:45,200 --> 02:20:48,280
Speaker 3: Oh see, that's that's well. Like that is well, though,

2646
02:20:48,400 --> 02:20:50,560
Speaker 3: is the bre cave upstairs or downstairs? Brown? And that's

2647
02:20:50,560 --> 02:20:51,119
Speaker 3: the first question.

2648
02:20:51,240 --> 02:20:54,160
Speaker 10: It's upstairs. And I just have a one bedroom apartment, so.

2649
02:20:54,120 --> 02:20:56,000
Speaker 11: I have two small TVs on my wall and then

2650
02:20:56,040 --> 02:20:57,400
Speaker 11: one fifty five inch TV.

2651
02:20:58,360 --> 02:21:00,520
Speaker 3: See that's that's a smart way to do it. Like

2652
02:21:01,040 --> 02:21:03,560
Speaker 3: last year, I was going to get my basement remodeled.

2653
02:21:03,560 --> 02:21:05,320
Speaker 3: This is again first world things. I was going to

2654
02:21:05,360 --> 02:21:07,800
Speaker 3: remodel the basement to make it the perfect basement to

2655
02:21:07,800 --> 02:21:10,760
Speaker 3: watch games. But before I did that, because I'm cheap,

2656
02:21:11,000 --> 02:21:13,440
Speaker 3: I decided I would hang four TVs in the basement.

2657
02:21:13,800 --> 02:21:15,720
Speaker 3: They were all like side by side by side. And

2658
02:21:15,760 --> 02:21:17,920
Speaker 3: what I was thinking of doing was getting one of

2659
02:21:17,920 --> 02:21:20,920
Speaker 3: those controllers that will let the whole all four TVs

2660
02:21:20,920 --> 02:21:23,840
Speaker 3: together become one massive screen, or you can use them

2661
02:21:23,840 --> 02:21:26,720
Speaker 3: as four individual TVs. That was my grandiose idea. But

2662
02:21:26,840 --> 02:21:28,760
Speaker 3: what I found out last year is it because it's

2663
02:21:28,760 --> 02:21:31,680
Speaker 3: in the basement, basement's kind of dark. I don't really

2664
02:21:31,760 --> 02:21:33,800
Speaker 3: like the fact that it's like I got no windows

2665
02:21:33,800 --> 02:21:36,160
Speaker 3: in the basement, I got no way to get natural light.

2666
02:21:36,760 --> 02:21:38,879
Speaker 3: I don't really love the way that looks so I

2667
02:21:38,920 --> 02:21:41,520
Speaker 3: found myself actually not using the cave that I was

2668
02:21:41,560 --> 02:21:44,240
Speaker 3: going to build because I don't like being downstairs when

2669
02:21:44,240 --> 02:21:46,280
Speaker 3: the actions going on. I need like natural light and

2670
02:21:46,400 --> 02:21:48,680
Speaker 3: energy coming in during the day when I'm watching games.

2671
02:21:49,720 --> 02:21:52,720
Speaker 4: Well, that's interesting, So you need the lights.

2672
02:21:54,200 --> 02:21:57,360
Speaker 2: You got to have the light and you have to

2673
02:21:57,400 --> 02:22:01,039
Speaker 2: feel see what about my time get like the Sunday

2674
02:22:01,120 --> 02:22:01,560
Speaker 2: night game.

2675
02:22:02,440 --> 02:22:05,320
Speaker 3: Well, the Sunday night game is fine, Like I'll watch

2676
02:22:05,400 --> 02:22:08,000
Speaker 3: the Sunday night game upstairs, but especially like when you

2677
02:22:08,040 --> 02:22:11,520
Speaker 3: start to get into November December, you know, when it

2678
02:22:11,560 --> 02:22:14,520
Speaker 3: starts getting dark at three point thirty in the afternoon

2679
02:22:14,560 --> 02:22:17,120
Speaker 3: in New England, Like I don't want to be downstairs

2680
02:22:17,240 --> 02:22:19,800
Speaker 3: in a quiet, dark basement all day. Like that's just

2681
02:22:19,840 --> 02:22:21,800
Speaker 3: not you know that that's just not as much fun,

2682
02:22:21,959 --> 02:22:25,080
Speaker 3: unless unless you've got like a loud group of obnoxious,

2683
02:22:25,160 --> 02:22:27,360
Speaker 3: drunk friends with you. I do think it gets too

2684
02:22:27,400 --> 02:22:28,520
Speaker 3: isolating there. I like it.

2685
02:22:29,240 --> 02:22:31,360
Speaker 4: I like that You're right, I got you.

2686
02:22:32,040 --> 02:22:35,039
Speaker 2: And there is something about like I'm on the East

2687
02:22:35,080 --> 02:22:40,279
Speaker 2: coast and there's something about the uh like that a

2688
02:22:40,400 --> 02:22:46,160

02:25:19,440 --> 02:25:23,560
Speaker 3: an adult, and I got two sisters. I adopted two

2727
02:25:23,640 --> 02:25:25,920
Speaker 3: dogs that were like, you know, sort of farm dogs.

2728
02:25:25,959 --> 02:25:28,120
Speaker 3: They were stranded in a litter and one of them

2729
02:25:28,120 --> 02:25:31,200
Speaker 3: couldn't stop. She wouldn't stop whining when I was in

2730
02:25:31,240 --> 02:25:33,400
Speaker 3: the car with her, and so I just choked. I

2731
02:25:33,440 --> 02:25:35,160
Speaker 3: was like, she's whining so much. I'm gonna name her

2732
02:25:35,160 --> 02:25:37,920
Speaker 3: Winnie after Winnie Cooper, because you know, I remember where

2733
02:25:37,959 --> 02:25:40,640
Speaker 3: I was as a kid when I saw the Wonder

2734
02:25:40,720 --> 02:25:44,800
Speaker 3: Years for the first time. The dogs were named appropriately

2735
02:25:44,840 --> 02:25:47,920
Speaker 3: Winny and Sam as Samantha from Who's the Boss. I

Speaker 4: Oh that's great, all right.

2750
02:26:31,800 --> 02:26:37,640
Speaker 2: Question number four, Well, FITZI said this earlier, right, So

2751
02:26:38,200 --> 02:26:45,760
Speaker 2: he was the sideline reporter for the hot dog eating contest.

2752
02:26:45,800 --> 02:26:48,600
Speaker 4: That was a big deal, like that was a monster.

2753
02:26:48,840 --> 02:26:52,840
Speaker 2: That was actually a big assignment because everybody watched that thing.

2754
02:26:53,720 --> 02:26:59,119
Speaker 2: So off of that, Mark, give me a food item

2755
02:27:00,120 --> 02:27:03,959
Speaker 2: that you can eat in volume, because I love how

2756
02:27:03,959 --> 02:27:07,400
Speaker 2: people can eat hot folks and volume. I just the

2757
02:27:07,480 --> 02:27:11,760
Speaker 2: thought of it makes makes my stomach queasy. So Mark,

2758
02:27:11,840 --> 02:27:15,320
Speaker 2: what's a food that you can eat in volume?

2759
02:27:16,760 --> 02:27:20,520
Speaker 8: My grandfather taught me about there was a TV show

2760
02:27:20,640 --> 02:27:22,720
Speaker 8: it was Blondie and Dagwood.

2761
02:27:23,480 --> 02:27:25,840
Speaker 9: There used to be a sandwich that he would call.

2762
02:27:27,560 --> 02:27:30,240
Speaker 8: A Dagwood, and then he used to make for me

2763
02:27:30,720 --> 02:27:34,760
Speaker 8: the Blondie, which was a smaller version basically lettuce tomato.

2764
02:27:35,240 --> 02:27:37,040
Speaker 8: I would put boloney on my sandwich.

2765
02:27:37,160 --> 02:27:39,720
Speaker 9: I would. I could eat tons and tons of boloney.

2766
02:27:40,440 --> 02:27:44,320
Speaker 2: Okay, look at that, all right, you got your cold

2767
02:27:44,320 --> 02:27:50,720
Speaker 2: cuts man, Yes, all right, yes, Bree, give me your

2768
02:27:51,040 --> 02:27:54,359
Speaker 2: food item that you can eat in volume.

2769
02:27:55,000 --> 02:27:59,680
Speaker 11: Oh, I guess I'll go with tacos. I can eat

2770
02:27:59,720 --> 02:28:01,920
Speaker 11: like a ton of tacos.

2771
02:28:02,800 --> 02:28:06,680
Speaker 3: The taco is a great now that's hard soft taco,

2772
02:28:06,920 --> 02:28:08,720
Speaker 3: chicken tacosco.

2773
02:28:08,959 --> 02:28:09,840
Speaker 10: It has to be like.

2774
02:28:09,760 --> 02:28:11,279
Speaker 11: I don't know, it has to be a little specific,

2775
02:28:11,320 --> 02:28:13,600
Speaker 11: like the street tacos like you know, and like with

2776
02:28:13,720 --> 02:28:16,520
Speaker 11: the like this the shady van in the corner, and

2777
02:28:16,560 --> 02:28:18,040
Speaker 11: then like a picnic table.

2778
02:28:18,120 --> 02:28:19,320
Speaker 10: But they're like making.

2779
02:28:19,080 --> 02:28:21,600
Speaker 11: It like like in La we have a lot of

2780
02:28:21,600 --> 02:28:24,320
Speaker 11: those types of places. So I could probably eat. I

2781
02:28:24,360 --> 02:28:26,400
Speaker 11: could probably take down at least like one hundred and fifty.

2782
02:28:26,400 --> 02:28:28,280
Speaker 11: If you give me like five hours, I could probably

2783
02:28:28,360 --> 02:28:30,560
Speaker 11: do like thirty tacos an hour for sure.

2784
02:28:31,720 --> 02:28:35,920
Speaker 2: Wow, that's now are you like fits ants? Which which

2785
02:28:36,040 --> 02:28:38,200
Speaker 2: taco do you do? You like the fish taco?

2786
02:28:38,320 --> 02:28:41,720
Speaker 10: Do you like the like the Asda like Carnessata taco?

2787
02:28:42,240 --> 02:28:43,800
Speaker 10: They like the soft taco.

2788
02:28:43,560 --> 02:28:45,880
Speaker 11: With like the cilantro and the onion and the little

2789
02:28:45,920 --> 02:28:46,840
Speaker 11: saltell on the side.

2790
02:28:46,879 --> 02:28:47,640
Speaker 10: They also make.

2791
02:28:47,600 --> 02:28:50,640
Speaker 11: Keto tacos now, so like they like, they fry the

2792
02:28:50,640 --> 02:28:53,320
Speaker 11: anaheim chili and then they throw the cheese and the

2793
02:28:53,360 --> 02:28:55,640
Speaker 11: meat on there, so then that's like less carbs. So

2794
02:28:55,720 --> 02:28:57,040
Speaker 11: I could probably do like half of those.

2795
02:28:57,879 --> 02:29:02,960
Speaker 2: So that's a good value too with the adeheid chili. Yeah,

2796
02:29:02,959 --> 02:29:05,760
Speaker 2: because I like a little heat to my taco.

2797
02:29:06,080 --> 02:29:08,280
Speaker 10: Same so the soul said too, yeah all that.

2798
02:29:08,680 --> 02:29:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's good at the taco. At the taco,

2799
02:29:13,480 --> 02:29:18,199
Speaker 2: you could do volume fitsy with the taco. The hot dog. Listen,

2800
02:29:18,440 --> 02:29:20,400
Speaker 2: I bring this up to you. Before you give us

2801
02:29:20,440 --> 02:29:23,360
Speaker 2: your answer, you got to tell us about what it's

2802
02:29:23,600 --> 02:29:28,360
Speaker 2: like to watch these people eat that many hot dogs.

2803
02:29:28,640 --> 02:29:31,800
Speaker 2: And it's actually like gross watching it.

2804
02:29:32,680 --> 02:29:36,560
Speaker 3: So the first year that I did it was COVID,

2805
02:29:37,320 --> 02:29:41,040
Speaker 3: and because it was COVID, they brought us inside and

2806
02:29:41,200 --> 02:29:44,359
Speaker 3: only the people that have been tested could be inside

2807
02:29:44,360 --> 02:29:46,959
Speaker 3: in the room and the competitors roll next to each other,

2808
02:29:47,440 --> 02:29:52,240
Speaker 3: and this is no exaggeration here. They had speakers set

2809
02:29:52,320 --> 02:29:55,080
Speaker 3: up for our our you know, for me to commentate

2810
02:29:55,160 --> 02:29:57,039
Speaker 3: and things like that for the guys to do their work.

2811
02:29:57,400 --> 02:30:02,480
Speaker 3: But as they started, the actual noise of Joey Chestnut

2812
02:30:02,680 --> 02:30:07,080
Speaker 3: like gulping those hot dogs and buns down, it was

2813
02:30:07,280 --> 02:30:10,920
Speaker 3: no stomach turning. Somebody in the room was like, we

2814
02:30:10,959 --> 02:30:12,760
Speaker 3: got to get we got to turn music off. There's

2815
02:30:12,760 --> 02:30:15,160
Speaker 3: got to be something because the whole rook here here going.

2816
02:30:15,240 --> 02:30:19,959
Speaker 3: Oh it was. It was the most and it was

2817
02:30:20,040 --> 02:30:23,879
Speaker 3: actually distracting the other eaters from being able to maintain

2818
02:30:23,920 --> 02:30:28,400
Speaker 3: their pace because everybody could hear what Joey Chestnut was doing.

2819
02:30:28,480 --> 02:30:33,320
Speaker 3: It was. It was unreal. And like when I tell you,

2820
02:30:33,360 --> 02:30:35,520
Speaker 3: there's a smell to all of it, Like when.

2821
02:30:35,360 --> 02:30:38,240
Speaker 4: You're right, I was going to ask you, yes.

2822
02:30:38,520 --> 02:30:41,680
Speaker 3: Like there is this weird smell. And they got to

2823
02:30:41,680 --> 02:30:44,280
Speaker 3: get the hot dogs from where they're cooked to the

2824
02:30:44,320 --> 02:30:47,280
Speaker 3: actual room where they're being eaten, and to the actual

2825
02:30:47,320 --> 02:30:49,840
Speaker 3: stage where they're being eaten. So that makes it huge

2826
02:30:49,840 --> 02:30:52,000
Speaker 3: for all you guys that love to bet, there's certain

2827
02:30:52,040 --> 02:30:53,600
Speaker 3: things that you can keep an eye on for the

2828
02:30:53,600 --> 02:30:57,280
Speaker 3: hot dog eating contest like anything that keeps like if

2829
02:30:57,320 --> 02:31:00,280
Speaker 3: it turns out to be that the hot dogs where

2830
02:31:00,680 --> 02:31:02,200
Speaker 3: they had to make a bunch of them and they

2831
02:31:02,240 --> 02:31:04,000
Speaker 3: sat for a while. Like if it's a colder day,

2832
02:31:04,080 --> 02:31:06,520
Speaker 3: sometimes the hot dogs get a little sticky, they don't

2833
02:31:06,520 --> 02:31:09,240
Speaker 3: go down as fast. Like if it's a humid day

2834
02:31:09,320 --> 02:31:12,959
Speaker 3: that's really hot, the dogs themselves catch a little of

2835
02:31:12,959 --> 02:31:15,200
Speaker 3: that moisture, they go down faster. Like these are all

2836
02:31:15,240 --> 02:31:18,440
Speaker 3: things that are real when these guys do the numbers,

2837
02:31:18,480 --> 02:31:22,160
Speaker 3: But my god, when you actually see what they have

2838
02:31:22,280 --> 02:31:24,160
Speaker 3: to do to contort their bodies, Like I think Nick

2839
02:31:24,200 --> 02:31:26,440
Speaker 3: Weary's gonna win this week, and Nick deserves it, He's

2840
02:31:26,480 --> 02:31:29,000
Speaker 3: worked really hard for a long time. But my god,

2841
02:31:29,200 --> 02:31:31,360
Speaker 3: like what he puts his body through to just be

2842
02:31:31,440 --> 02:31:34,640
Speaker 3: able to train for it's, y'all, at the level of disgusting.

2843
02:31:34,680 --> 02:31:37,120
Speaker 3: I never realized that, But you're right, cause, like I

2844
02:31:37,160 --> 02:31:39,000
Speaker 3: would do that, and my phone will blow up for

2845
02:31:39,080 --> 02:31:41,280
Speaker 3: that more than it did for everything else confined that

2846
02:31:41,360 --> 02:31:41,560
Speaker 3: I was.

2847
02:31:42,560 --> 02:31:49,200
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable, man, I remember saying you, what was the fitsy?

2848
02:31:49,280 --> 02:31:52,480
Speaker 4: Like do they I mean they swamp? Like how do

2849
02:31:52,520 --> 02:31:54,080
Speaker 4: you swallow that stuff?

2850
02:31:54,120 --> 02:31:57,879
Speaker 2: Like I don't understand it, Like like their style of

2851
02:31:57,959 --> 02:32:02,000
Speaker 2: eating is all, oh, I don't know how you can

2852
02:32:02,080 --> 02:32:04,920
Speaker 2: do it. Like, listen, we all like a hot dog, right,

2853
02:32:04,959 --> 02:32:07,840
Speaker 2: you do a hot talk. You can't do more than

2854
02:32:07,879 --> 02:32:11,080
Speaker 2: two hot thos, maybe do three or four. It's dollar

2855
02:32:11,160 --> 02:32:14,560
Speaker 2: dog night at a park, all right, But that's it,

2856
02:32:14,760 --> 02:32:17,879
Speaker 2: Like that's a that's an item that's got.

2857
02:32:18,600 --> 02:32:22,720
Speaker 4: More than anything. There's a there's a finite that mat

2858
02:32:22,720 --> 02:32:23,240
Speaker 4: you can eat.

2859
02:32:24,080 --> 02:32:27,480
Speaker 3: No, I totally agree. Like, and it's it's interesting to

2860
02:32:27,560 --> 02:32:30,080
Speaker 3: watch the way they train for it is the bite

2861
02:32:30,080 --> 02:32:32,800
Speaker 3: and gulp sort of thing and dunking the bread and

2862
02:32:32,840 --> 02:32:33,480
Speaker 3: trying to get.

2863
02:32:33,320 --> 02:32:33,879
Speaker 4: The break down.

2864
02:32:34,840 --> 02:32:38,680
Speaker 3: It's just they all afterwards, for hours afterwards, they all

2865
02:32:38,760 --> 02:32:41,320
Speaker 3: just they're just colored. They don't look like the people

2866
02:32:41,440 --> 02:32:43,720
Speaker 3: that compete don't look right. For a long time, the

2867
02:32:43,720 --> 02:32:47,400
Speaker 3: one interesting, you know, everybody talked about Joey's dominance rightfully said,

2868
02:32:47,680 --> 02:32:50,039
Speaker 3: but when you talk to the competitors, they'll tell you,

2869
02:32:50,080 --> 02:32:53,200
Speaker 3: like most almost every one of those competitors has a

2870
02:32:53,240 --> 02:32:56,360
Speaker 3: regular job, so you know, they're a school teacher or whatever,

2871
02:32:56,440 --> 02:32:58,080
Speaker 3: and they train as best they can with the time

2872
02:32:58,080 --> 02:33:00,680
Speaker 3: they have. Joey, for the longest time, was the only

2873
02:33:00,720 --> 02:33:02,920
Speaker 3: one on the circuit that his full time job was

2874
02:33:03,160 --> 02:33:06,680
Speaker 3: just training for that. My guy like just trains for

2875
02:33:06,760 --> 02:33:10,280
Speaker 3: that all the time. That's just that's what he lives

2876
02:33:10,320 --> 02:33:13,120
Speaker 3: his life for. So gave him such an advantage that

2877
02:33:13,160 --> 02:33:14,959
Speaker 3: most guys just don't have because they don't make enough

2878
02:33:15,000 --> 02:33:16,360
Speaker 3: money to do an these outebts to be able to

2879
02:33:16,400 --> 02:33:18,760
Speaker 3: do it the way Joey does. So you know, I'm

2880
02:33:18,800 --> 02:33:21,720
Speaker 3: excited for somebody else to step up. But it is just, oh,

2881
02:33:21,840 --> 02:33:23,040
Speaker 3: it's it's disgusting.

2882
02:33:24,480 --> 02:33:29,160
Speaker 2: So give me your food that when you are eating

2883
02:33:29,440 --> 02:33:31,640
Speaker 2: that you can eat in value.

2884
02:33:32,080 --> 02:33:34,400
Speaker 3: No, this one's easy. I mean, I spent I've said

2885
02:33:34,400 --> 02:33:35,920
Speaker 3: this before, but when I was a little kid, my

2886
02:33:36,040 --> 02:33:38,440
Speaker 3: dad would go get a dozen donuts every week and

2887
02:33:38,480 --> 02:33:40,360
Speaker 3: we would watch the Raiders game and we would eat

2888
02:33:40,360 --> 02:33:43,360
Speaker 3: a dozen donuts. And then you know, as I was

2889
02:33:43,400 --> 02:33:45,840
Speaker 3: on the road, I would send somebody out every week

2890
02:33:46,080 --> 02:33:48,080
Speaker 3: when I was touring, and every Sunday I'd come up

2891
02:33:48,080 --> 02:33:51,480
Speaker 3: and there'd be a dozen double chocolate Dunkin Donuts sitting

2892
02:33:51,520 --> 02:33:53,080
Speaker 3: there for me, and I'd eat all twelve during the

2893
02:33:53,160 --> 02:33:56,000
Speaker 3: Raiders game. And that doesn't include you know, the lunch

2894
02:33:56,040 --> 02:33:58,560
Speaker 3: and whatever else I'm eating and drinking while I'm doing it.

2895
02:33:58,640 --> 02:34:01,080
Speaker 3: So I mean if I was really put my mind

2896
02:34:01,080 --> 02:34:03,400
Speaker 3: to it, how many donuts could have house I'm sure

2897
02:34:03,440 --> 02:34:05,400
Speaker 3: I could get through forty or fifty during a Raiders

2898
02:34:05,440 --> 02:34:06,240
Speaker 3: came pretty easily.

2899
02:34:07,200 --> 02:34:12,160
Speaker 2: Wow, fifty chocolate donuts and you do the double the

2900
02:34:12,280 --> 02:34:14,600
Speaker 2: chocolate and the chocolate is your favorite.

2901
02:34:14,959 --> 02:34:17,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, it's like, Look, I'm a cake donut guy,

2902
02:34:17,400 --> 02:34:19,720
Speaker 3: like you know, unless they're sponsored of this show, in

2903
02:34:19,760 --> 02:34:21,800
Speaker 3: which case I love them. I'll tell you right now.

2904
02:34:21,879 --> 02:34:23,800
Speaker 3: Like I missed me with Krispy Green. So when they

2905
02:34:23,800 --> 02:34:26,480
Speaker 3: have like the Hot and Ready or whatever, the Hot

2906
02:34:26,520 --> 02:34:28,200
Speaker 3: and Fresh, like, I don't want. I don't want my

2907
02:34:28,240 --> 02:34:31,039
Speaker 3: donut hoot. I like cake donuts and I like like

2908
02:34:31,120 --> 02:34:33,400
Speaker 3: the frosting on top of it, like the icing on

2909
02:34:33,440 --> 02:34:35,680
Speaker 3: top of it. So yeah, can be like a traditional

2910
02:34:35,720 --> 02:34:38,360
Speaker 3: cake donut, chocolate, chocolate. I don't really do any of

2911
02:34:38,400 --> 02:34:41,840
Speaker 3: the donuts so like, I don't really like je jelly fills.

2912
02:34:41,879 --> 02:34:44,320
Speaker 3: But other than that, I'll eat any donuts. Like donuts

2913
02:34:44,320 --> 02:34:46,920
Speaker 3: one of my favorite foods. But yeah, I feel pretty

2914
02:34:46,920 --> 02:34:48,920
Speaker 3: confident in a three and a half hour Raiders game,

2915
02:34:49,280 --> 02:34:52,040
Speaker 3: I'd say fifty is the right number if that's the

2916
02:34:52,080 --> 02:34:52,840
Speaker 3: only thing I'm eating.

2917
02:34:54,000 --> 02:34:58,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. Man, that's fantastic. That's she's great,

2918
02:34:58,640 --> 02:35:02,000
Speaker 2: that's just awesome. All right, let's take a quick time out.

2919
02:35:02,080 --> 02:35:04,560
Speaker 2: We'll come back and wrap up this show where the

2920
02:35:04,879 --> 02:35:07,480
Speaker 2: Fellas Jason Fitz Anthony Garganta hang.

2921
02:35:07,440 --> 02:35:10,920
Speaker 4: With you right here on Fox Sports Radio.

2922
02:35:13,800 --> 02:35:19,480
Speaker 2: Ah, welcome back Fellas hanging out Jason Fitz Anthony Gargano.

2923
02:35:19,879 --> 02:35:22,920
Speaker 2: You know what's funny, I'd met that Joey Chestnut once

2924
02:35:23,800 --> 02:35:27,720
Speaker 2: or before before the Hot Talk. I used to work

2925
02:35:27,760 --> 02:35:32,279
Speaker 2: for a radio station in Philadelphia that did Wing Bowl

2926
02:35:33,440 --> 02:35:37,040
Speaker 2: and it was like the first competitive eating kind of thing,

2927
02:35:37,840 --> 02:35:41,320
Speaker 2: and they did it with chicken wings like wings, and

2928
02:35:41,400 --> 02:35:43,920
Speaker 2: it was it was wild, like that Joey Chestnut would

2929
02:35:43,920 --> 02:35:47,440
Speaker 2: eat like three hunt wings in like twenty minutes.

2930
02:35:49,760 --> 02:35:54,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, what he's capable of is unreal, and

2931
02:35:54,720 --> 02:35:58,000
Speaker 3: you know, it's it's truly what he trains for. It's

2932
02:35:58,040 --> 02:36:00,920
Speaker 3: funny because the time I did it a couple of

2933
02:36:01,000 --> 02:36:04,760
Speaker 3: years ago, I'd done some some betting analysis going into it,

2934
02:36:05,080 --> 02:36:07,320
Speaker 3: and I really felt like, you know, hammered me over

2935
02:36:07,320 --> 02:36:09,560
Speaker 3: because I've been talking to Joey a little bit. He

2936
02:36:09,680 --> 02:36:13,560
Speaker 3: was training his tailoffice and then he shows up that

2937
02:36:13,560 --> 02:36:15,240
Speaker 3: that was the year he showed up and his foot

2938
02:36:15,280 --> 02:36:16,320
Speaker 3: was in a boot and I was like, well, what

2939
02:36:16,400 --> 02:36:18,800
Speaker 3: did you do? And he'd ended up having to like

2940
02:36:18,879 --> 02:36:21,480
Speaker 3: have a procedure done on his foot, and he immediately

2941
02:36:21,520 --> 02:36:24,560
Speaker 3: said to me, in this twenty four hours before the contest,

2942
02:36:24,600 --> 02:36:26,000
Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, my number is going to be low

2943
02:36:26,040 --> 02:36:28,680
Speaker 3: because I used my feet so much in the process,

2944
02:36:28,680 --> 02:36:30,640
Speaker 3: because he bounces a certain way with his feet and

2945
02:36:30,680 --> 02:36:33,120
Speaker 3: he couldn't do that. I'm like, that just shows you

2946
02:36:33,200 --> 02:36:35,560
Speaker 3: when everybody says, look, I'm not saying that Joey Chestnut

2947
02:36:35,600 --> 02:36:38,240
Speaker 3: is some great athlete in the same way that so

2948
02:36:38,360 --> 02:36:40,720
Speaker 3: many what we think of the word athlete. But he

2949
02:36:40,800 --> 02:36:43,080
Speaker 3: does train with a very specific routine in mind to

2950
02:36:43,160 --> 02:36:46,760
Speaker 3: how he does what he does. So it's a wild

2951
02:36:46,879 --> 02:36:50,400
Speaker 3: world when you put that that much work into figuring

2952
02:36:50,400 --> 02:36:52,480
Speaker 3: out how to eat a bunch of potato skins or

2953
02:36:52,520 --> 02:36:55,560
Speaker 3: pizza bikes, or you know, pretzels or you know that

2954
02:36:55,920 --> 02:36:56,880
Speaker 3: hot buns.

2955
02:36:58,560 --> 02:36:59,959
Speaker 4: It's great, that's great.

2956
02:37:00,080 --> 02:37:02,879
Speaker 2: We all think it's funny because we all go, I

2957
02:37:02,879 --> 02:37:05,039
Speaker 2: can eat, I can eat a ton of those until

2958
02:37:05,080 --> 02:37:08,119
Speaker 2: you actually sit down. You go even when you're hungry,

2959
02:37:08,200 --> 02:37:10,760
Speaker 2: like you cannot eat all day, and then you have like,

2960
02:37:11,480 --> 02:37:14,400
Speaker 2: I know, I can eat whatever you order.

2961
02:37:14,440 --> 02:37:15,880
Speaker 4: A pizza.

2962
02:37:16,040 --> 02:37:19,480
Speaker 2: You're you're for slices in You're already getting full, Like

2963
02:37:19,879 --> 02:37:23,360
Speaker 2: you think you're starving, but you really those guys are

2964
02:37:23,440 --> 02:37:25,360
Speaker 2: are are a different beasts.

2965
02:37:27,080 --> 02:37:30,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, and you're right, like you think you're getting starved.

2966
02:37:30,120 --> 02:37:32,560
Speaker 3: The amount that you have to just shut off, you know,

2967
02:37:32,680 --> 02:37:35,840
Speaker 3: the noise and and your brain to do this. It's like,

2968
02:37:36,120 --> 02:37:38,400
Speaker 3: doesn't matter if my brain's telling me full, I'm full.

2969
02:37:38,840 --> 02:37:40,600
Speaker 3: I've trained enough for this. I know I can take

2970
02:37:40,720 --> 02:37:42,959
Speaker 3: eat more of these. It's like, that's just I can't

2971
02:37:43,000 --> 02:37:45,720
Speaker 3: imagine the thought of being like, oh man, only twelve

2972
02:37:45,800 --> 02:37:48,240
Speaker 3: hot dogs to go in the next thirty seconds. I mean,

2973
02:37:48,840 --> 02:37:51,360
Speaker 3: good God, yeah, no.

2974
02:37:51,400 --> 02:37:54,280
Speaker 4: I feel you. I feel it's it's insane.

2975
02:37:54,520 --> 02:37:56,600
Speaker 2: Hey, I got one question for you and then I'll

2976
02:37:56,600 --> 02:37:59,280
Speaker 2: give you the I'll give everybody a fifth question. But

2977
02:38:00,000 --> 02:38:02,200
Speaker 2: this night, Jeremy Payney from the Astros, it was an

2978
02:38:02,200 --> 02:38:07,480
Speaker 2: Apple TV game. He was miked up and he dropped

2979
02:38:07,879 --> 02:38:09,920
Speaker 2: a pop up while he.

2980
02:38:10,000 --> 02:38:15,119
Speaker 4: Was being interviewed. And that's the second time.

2981
02:38:14,920 --> 02:38:20,080
Speaker 2: This year that a ballplayer was miked up for Apple

2982
02:38:20,120 --> 02:38:24,640
Speaker 2: TV and dropped a pop up. Now they get paid,

2983
02:38:24,640 --> 02:38:27,920
Speaker 2: They get paid like ten grand to be miked up,

2984
02:38:27,920 --> 02:38:31,560
Speaker 2: to be interviewed during the game. I got a question,

2985
02:38:31,680 --> 02:38:35,800
Speaker 2: At what point do you go, no, you're not miked up.

2986
02:38:35,840 --> 02:38:37,560
Speaker 2: It's too distracting.

2987
02:38:38,560 --> 02:38:41,280
Speaker 3: Right now. I mean, the first time you could say, well,

2988
02:38:41,320 --> 02:38:44,520
Speaker 3: that's once twice in close proximity to it hasn't been

2989
02:38:44,520 --> 02:38:46,720
Speaker 3: that long since the first time happened. Now you're looking

2990
02:38:46,760 --> 02:38:49,560
Speaker 3: at it and saying no, man Like, Ultimately, the ten

2991
02:38:49,640 --> 02:38:52,040
Speaker 3: K you're paid is nowhere near what we're paying you

2992
02:38:52,080 --> 02:38:54,560
Speaker 3: to actually play this sport, and we need to be

2993
02:38:54,600 --> 02:38:57,440
Speaker 3: at our past. So I think I think it's pretty

2994
02:38:57,440 --> 02:39:00,640
Speaker 3: stunning that it's happened twice in this amount of time.

2995
02:39:00,760 --> 02:39:02,600
Speaker 3: So to me, if I'm a team, even if the

2996
02:39:02,600 --> 02:39:04,840
Speaker 3: player wants it, if I'm a team, I'm blocking their

2997
02:39:04,879 --> 02:39:06,400
Speaker 3: access to it immediately.

2998
02:39:07,400 --> 02:39:10,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's no good. I'm with you, all right.

2999
02:39:10,640 --> 02:39:13,680
Speaker 2: The fifth question of the five is off of the

3000
02:39:13,720 --> 02:39:21,640
Speaker 2: movie Jaws. Give me your favorite movie creature. Your favorite

3001
02:39:21,720 --> 02:39:26,800
Speaker 2: movie creature off of Jaws, the Shark. It's amazing that

3002
02:39:26,800 --> 02:39:30,120
Speaker 2: that movie still holds up even though it's a The

3003
02:39:30,160 --> 02:39:33,280
Speaker 2: Shark was mechanical and everything, but it still holds up

3004
02:39:33,280 --> 02:39:37,279
Speaker 2: to this day. So I'll start with you, Mighty Mark,

3005
